Only Me...

Leave it to me to get hurt while putting out x-mas decorations.

While helping my mom yesterday I stepped off some landscaping stones and my right ankle went POP/CRACK and I went to the ground in pain. I was worried because I have fractured that ankle before.

This morning I could barely walk on it so my mom took me to the doctor and they took x-rays. Thankfully it's just a bad sprang, though with torn legiments. I'm supposed to stay off of it as much as possible for the next week.

I also have pain killers (hooray Vicodin substitute)! Oh and an air cast to wear to keep my ankle straight as possible.

Oh no! I hope you get over that fast.

I have an ankle that I sprained really bad when I was 13..it's just never really been the same since. Once you tear/break/whatever one of them, it kind of haunts you for life. :(

At least you get the fun pain pills! Not that I advocate that kind of thing...but when it hurts, nothing's quite better than an opiate based pain killer to take your mind off things.

The doc said it would be about two weeks and has ordered me not to work for a week. "Stay off it as much as possible".

Oh I know. I fractured this ankle back when I was around 13 rollar skating. It wasn't a good experience, more so because of the summer day camp people I was around when I did it than the actual injury. That same summer, while I was on crutches for the fracture, I sprang my other ankle by putting to much weight on it. AND! I got chicken pox while on the crutches.

Ouch! And they do say most accidents happen at home. However your timing couldn't be worse. Three weeks before Christmas! Hope you've gotten all your gifts. Thank god for online shopping!
Take care, and watch those little pills!!! *hugs*

Oh it'll be healed up by then. And I can walk on it, just not much. If I go out I have to wear my air cast and a tennis shoe.

Ugh! I know that pain! I've got a bad, bad right ankle I've injured and reinjured countless times. It's never been the same since I severly twisted it (and also heard a POP) in junior high (and that was like over twenty years ago)... I hope you feel better...the Vicodin will help! :) Keep it elevated too.
