What I will share with you is how I sprained my ankle, which, at Fran's request, involves an alien encounter.
I was kissing an alien in front of the Prada store on the street, when a man came and grabbed my purse away from me. The alien was no help (jerk!), so I took off on my own. Just as I tackled the thief, I hit my ankle on a light pole, which caused it to sprain. I did get my purse back, the thief was apprehended, and I broke up with the alien. But my ankle will take some time to heal.
Haha. Right.
I hadn't seen my roommate in days, so when her car pulled up at the ward activity next to the one I'd just gotten out of, I ran around the back of my car to go give her a hug. The terrain was uneven and I rolled my ankle, falling straight to the ground. I was able to walk after a few minutes, but it's been rather uncomfortable since. Now, the pain and the swelling has gone down, but it's turning some interesting colors.

Kids, don't try this at home.
Sad day!
ReplyDeleteI hope it heals quickly...
And your alien story was pretty interesting. ;)

ReplyDeleteOUCH!!
Get thee to a doctor. I thought my last sprained ankle wasn't serious and ended up in three months of physical therapy, with the doctor chiding me for not going in sooner. Every sprained ankle deserves a doctor. Your ankles are too critical to your stability.
ReplyDeleteThe alien story was good though. I even believed it.
Luckily, it IS healing quickly. I'm bracing it and trying to take it easy.
ReplyDeleteGiggles - I totally agree with you. But unfortunately, doctors cost money, especially without insurance. I've been through this several times before though, hence the reason I even have the brace. I have my bands from my last visit to the physical therapist and I'll do what I can on my own for now.
I'm glad y'all like the alien. :)
Even with insurance I don't go to the doctor all the times I should.
ReplyDeleteWhen I did physical therapy they had me write the alphabet in the air with my foot. They thought it was funny when I told them that was just like the isolation drills we did in belly dancing.
Lol! Yay! At least you know your alphabet. ;)
