It stinks :(

When I came back from work my husband said we should renew our lease so we went to the main office of our apartment complex. On a way to come back to our place, I stepped on iron lattices for draining water on a street and I just twisted my ancle.....

I thought it was not too big deal. Then it swelled. I mean swelled like a baseball....

So we went to a hospital and we found out that I broke my ancle

I have to use cluches for a couple weeks

I cannot walk anywhere.... It SUCKS!!!!!

Ouch! Hope you get better soon. It's no fun having mobility problems

Though, I have to say, you need to cure your ultra-competitive nature. Just because Baakay twisted her ankle last week doesn't mean you have to break yours this week just to outdo her.

oh NOOOOOO

"Stinks" is a lovely, polite thing to say about it...

I actually broke the same ankle I twisted, a long, long time ago. I remember that absolutely giant-sized grapefruit - er, I mean, joint - all too well.

Ouch. My ankle throbs in sympathy.

Get better quickly!!

P.S. I promise I did not send her instructions about stepping on lattice grates (the fiend whot caused me to break my left knee 7 years ago...)

Wow that is really crappy.

I'm sorry to hear that you got hurt so badly.
It really sucks to not be able to get around when you're used to being independent.

(I have a pinched nerve in my back and before they injected my spine with steroids I was having a really hard time with basic mobility.)

I hope it heals up nicely and you're up and about soon!!

I am so sorry to hear that! I hope you get better!!!!
-Did it turn purple? I hurt my anckle too! Like 4 years ago, we where playing baskettball, my friend steped on my leg as I turned and *crack!*

-Just don't put too much pressure on the anckle! And also be carefull in the future...Try not to hop too much around and be carefull when you walk in places without a rug (with your crunches) or you may slip...

-Take care and get well soon!

Thank you everyone

It just sucks that I cannot go anywhere without making biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig deals out of it

Just so inconvenient..... I just do not want to take heavy duty painkiller (a doctor said she can give me some prescribed pain killer but I just did not want to

)so I am pretty much over dosing ibupropen

But it hurts when I move

And Baakay, yes it turned pruple and huge!!!! I mean we just could not believe how huge it got

You poor thing!!

I hope the pain and swelling go away quickly, and that you get lots of people waiting on you hand and foot when they see you limping around on crutches!

Thanks, I hope so..... I am supposed to go to Utah for a conference on this Sun so I am pondering to cancel it because it will be really sucky if I have to take an airplane and go to a hotel and walk around crutches

Who is making you?

Ack!...sorry to hear that Kittens.

Have you been recommended to keep your leg somewhat elevated to reduce swelling?

Yes, and also ice, a lot of them......

I slept really goofy last night (elevated feet) so I think it looks smaller than yesterday
