My stupid freakin' ankle!!


Last night I went out for some quality time with my older sister Tammy. We has some dinner and drinks at this new country bar outside Raymore (it was somewhere in the middle of both of our houses. Some of you may know I have a thing for high-heeled shoes when I go out, and normally they don't bother me. I have no trouble walking or dancing in them for hours, and there's something to be said about a great pair of heels with perfect fitting jeans. However, my heels did not like me last night because about 11:00 p.m. I got up from the table to go use the restroom and twisted my right ankle.....yes, AGAIN. We finally got our new camera this week, and I figure I probably need some proof of my repeat injury since this is the second time in two months I've sprained it.



This is about thirty minutes after it happened.






800mg of Motrin and elevation overnight...



The bruising is just starting to set in, and walking was a lot easier last night when I was "under the influence". Today, walking is not an option. I can get back and forth to the bathroom and kitchen by hobbling or hopping; however, most of my day has been spent in the recliner with it elevated. Luckily this was not my weekend to work, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to work by Tuesday. Do you think I could get an ankle replacement? I think this one's had it's day!!
