I need a new right side!

I think my body is just falling apart. Specifically the right side. First, there is my ankle. I am going to need surgery to fix the problem. I have what is called Impingments of the ankle joint. This is where the soft tissues in my ankle are being pinched by the joint. This is very common in ballet dancers because of wearing pointe shoes. My doctor says that the type of impingement that I have is usually only seen in ballet pointe dancers. So I guess I am a prime candidate for this. Second, my hip cracks every time I been and straighten my knee, or lift my legs. Not so sure what that is. And lastly, and the most funny, I think I sprained my hand or something. Today at work I thought it would be fun to play freeze dance with the kids in the main room. I got out the scarves and was showing the kids what to do with them when i hit my hand extremely hard against the door to the shelf the scarves were stored in. I felt quite stupid. My hand started to swell immediatly. I had to go get ice, which I kept on my hand for about 2 hours. It was really hard to work with the ice on my hand. Anyway, my hand still hurts but I am typing this so that is a good sign right!
Something else I'd like to talk about is this change in the was the YSA wards in the Salt Lake area. My stake, Salt Lake University 7th stake, and my ward, Salt Lake University 44th ward, are now disolved. I am now apart of the Draper YSA stake. Tomorrow I will go to my first stake conference in this stake and we will find out what the ward boundaries are. I was really upset about this at first. I liked my ward and enjoyed the fact that I wasn't with the same people in the same area that I grew up in. It was nice to get to know people that went to Jordan, Brighton, or Hilcrest, instead of just Alta Draper people. However, I never have doubted that this is what Heavenly Father wants. I know that wards will come and go, but the gosple of Jesus Christ is true no matter where you are. That is my testimony. All good things must come to an end....but better things are waiting just around the corner. When God closes a door, he always opens a window. So even though I am sad to see the old ward go, I will go to the stake conference with faith and confidence in my Heavenly Father. This will be a good change. No matter who is or isn't in my ward.
