Disaster (Woe is me!)

[cosc]

Sorrry about your ankle. I hope it heals quickly.

Oh no! Take good care of that ankle and be easy on it!!!


I'm glad you're OK!

I think its probably ok. I've been wandering around most of today on it and it feels good apart from uneven surfaces. I found barefoot painful so put my shoes on, I wear arch supports normally and the lack of arch support was really giving my ankle problems. I had a brief pedal this afternoon to check out my new bike computer and the support of the pedal felt great under it. I'll be sensible and only do a short ride tomorrow. The real test will be tomorrow morning though when I've had no ibuprofen for a while

Thanks for the kind words - I got about 15 minutes of wallowing before my cat came in demanding to be fed. Nothing like an attention seeking moggy to cheer you up.

Happy to hear you are feeling better! I twisted my ankle in Feb. 2006... and it stayed with me until around July.

On a positive note though, I was carried across a small ravine by some firefighters... who were on the other side completing drills that day. I refused to get my $90 shoes wet... so they helped me across. So very sweet of them. They then offered to look at it, but I refused help. I already felt really *dumb*.

I went to the Dr. and he said everything was fine... and gave me some $150 brace to put on my ankle. I couldn't wear it though, because it didn't fit in any of my shoes. That resulted in me sending nasty letters to the Dr.'s office... because they said I would NOT be over $75. They finally settled on $75.

Thus far, your experience sounds better than mine! Although, you didn't have a hot, hunky firefighter involved in helping you back home.

Oooh firemen!! Believe it or not I was actually right opposite the firestation when it happened though none of them were wandering about unfortunately!

Its been ok last couple of days, the bruising hasn't amounted to much which I'm suprised about as normally I bruise spectacularly. I lay on it awkwardly in bed last night somehow and its hurting a bit today - so no running today or for at least a couple of days. Which is a real shame as its 30mph winds and rain today I'll be at the climbing wall tonight so that will give me a real indication of how it is healing up.

Ooo, ouch Wear a brace or an elastic bandage when climbing if you have, it'll remind you to not twist the ankle.

Too bad about the lack of firemen!
