The next hazard of working in wilderness camp is injuries. The most common way for a chief to get injured at wilderness camp is from restraints or breaking up fights. I, unfortunately, am a casualty of such type of injury. This past weekend was chaos. That is all I can describe it as, because nothing fits it better. My group was chaos. The day I got injured, half my group decided to go out of bounds for a good 2 hours. We didn't check out of tents until after 7pm and then all hell broke loose. I won't go into the details, but while an MC and my co-chief were in a restraint the rest of the group decided they were going to fight someone. While trying to break this fight up in the dark, my right knee twists, pops, and buckles. Because of all the adrenaline in my body, I didn't realize what had happened until things had calmed down and my knee just didn't feel right at all. One trip to the emergency room the next day, and I had a tentative diagnosis of a right ACL sprain.
B has been amazing through all of this and is such a gentleman (not that he wasn't before) but I guess I recognize it more since I have to ask him to do things for me. B continues to show me every day God's love through his actions.
