Ankle Injury.. again!!!!! =(

This time not in the gym but just simply walking from my office to the cafe to pick up some lunch. It was raining outside and my knee was bothering me so I was probably compensating a bit in my walk. I slip and go flying to the ground and end up with an ankle sprain. Luckily only one person saw me so it wasn't too embarassing. It isn't black and blue but my right ankle is almost twice the size of my left especially on the outside of my ankle behind the joint. I can walk but its painful to put pressure on it so I'm keeping it elevated today as much as possible and using ice. Anytime it isn't elevated it or I point my foot it starts to ache and throb. So frustrating! Hopefully it will be back to normal in a day or two.

Stacy, Sorry to hear about your ankle. I know you are tempted to return to your routine, but make sure you are fully recovered. Good Luck

aaarrrggghhh that sucks!! you know the routine though...RICE That's all you can do, just don't pu**** Adding insult to injury won't help you at all at this point. You remind me of me, first thing I do is look around to see who was watching! Lord. that is embarrassing. I fell one time, in my own home no less, and of course BOTH my daughters were front and center, and LAUGHED and LAUGHED...all I could say was fat people shouldn't fall (this was presurgery mind you) so of course, that just made it all the funnier....didn't help my knee and ankle pain, but we still get a good chuckle out of it...to this day...I fell at work and who happened to be with me? My oldest daughter...so of course, we got major giggles again...thank God she was the only one who saw me... Take care, and feel better! Val

Thanks guys~ I'm such a klutz! It hasn't been the first time this is happened and I am sure it won't be the last. I've been off it all day and now have it wrapped. It did turn a little black and blue this afternoon. The good news is my wonderful husband has been taking good care of me. We are enjoying the day relaxing at home. I've been catching up on all the old Sex in the City HBO shows. We are new to having Comcast On Demand so it is still a novelty. Later I'll start on the Sopranos or maybe check out a few other movies.
