ankle
It is official. My clumsy fall down perfectly dry indoor stairs has resulted in a severely sprained ankle. I went to the clinic today (which, by the way, was a much more pleasant and quick experience than I was anticipating) and they diagnosed a tiny tiny hairline fracture. Not serious enough for a cast, but serious enough that they splinted my foot and gave me crutches. Also, I need to go back next week and get another x-ray done to make sure the fracture hasn’t gotten worse. In case you were wondering, crutches suck and the hallway from the elevator to my condo is reaaaally long.
Overall I’m good. I have instructions for resting, icing, compressing, elevation (RICE) and for Advil. 400mg every 4 hours. I’ve also been told that I should take tomorrow off. Not much pain, but a lot of annoyance as moving around is significantly more difficult. Hopefully it heals quickly!
