Ankle Update
Apr. 18th, 2013 04:00 pmIf you haven't heard I managed to sprain my ankle but good last Wednesday. I was carrying Kosh down the steps from his daycare. He exclaimed about the light-rail (like he usually does), and I looked over where he was looking, and missed the bottom step. I managed to keep him from hitting anything, but in the process most of my and his weight landed on my left ankle.
At the time after a minute I was able to stand up and walk to the bus stop, and home from the bus stop. Being my stubborn self I then went to a meeting at church, and then hit the after hours care (it would have been after hours either way).
I love that I can drop into after hour care 7 days a week. They gave me the boot of shame (I'm enjoying calling it the boot of shame, but it's really been a life saver, and allowed me to maintain the majority of my normal mobility) sent me to the connected hospital for x-rays just in case.

It's been a reminder of how blessed I am not to deal with this normally.
I've been in the boot of shame for a week, and just today took it off for work, and I'm favoring it, but don't seem to be having too much trouble. Back to the boot for the commute walk, and most likely not dancing tonight, but it's getting better.
I've got an appointment to get it checked out on the 23rd.
The injury has caused me to finally get a stroller that I'm taking on the bus, and Kosh and I are really liking that. Maybe I should have done that earlier.
