I tripped over a curb last night, at Kaiser no less, but a location that doesn't have an ER or MI Clinic. Rolled my ankle which immediately blew up like a balloon and turned black and blue. Off to the ER I went. Luckily it's only sprained, so no cast, but OMG it hurts! To top it off, I'm getting over a cold.
I look sooo great at work today. Crutches on one side of my desk, my foot up on the other side of my desk, a pool of water from my ice pack on the floor and a box of kleenex in the middle of it all.
This sucks.
Re: Sprained my ankle, pity party inside
That does suck :-( I'm so sorry.
Sometimes a sprain is worse than a break.
Take it easy and feel better!
Ouch!! I'm so sorry. I did almost this exact same thing a few years ago. You're lucky though. I wound up twisting my ankle so far over, it snapped a bone in my foot. I had to have surgery to have a pin placed to keep my foot together. I was in a cast for six weeks. Sorry, not trying to steal your pity party.
Crutches suck hardcore and especially when you have to have them at work. I hope you heal quickly and you're off of them soon!!!
Boooo! I hope your ankle heals quickly and you start feeling better!!!!
