Before you ask, no I didn’t slip on wax. But this was Semana Santa related as I was distracted by looking at a procession and didn’t see the gaping hole in the pavement. Down I went, not only respraining my left ankle but also spraining my right foot (!!!). Or at least I think – and hope – they are “just” sprains and that nothing is broken. The pain is frankly unbearable if I try to stand so the only “walking” I’m doing is to and from the bathroom (can’t avoid that). My friend Juan has offered to come over and drive me to the hospital but I honestly don’t think I can even make it down the stairs. Fuck.

Sounds like you need an x-ray, however, so maybe go down the stairs on your bum?

Yikes, that looks like it hurt so dang bad it’s not funny it looks worse than mine does I cannot imagine spraining both. Did you cry? I sprained my ankle for the very first time last week.

First time I sprained my ankle I could not believe how much it hurt. So when I saw that I’d done BOTH I did feel like crying. But I also had to get home…
Hope yours is better now! Thanks for stopping by. 🙂

Exactly, I could not believe the amount of pain it caused. Walking through our yard in the middle of the night I stepped on a sprinkler, my ankle rolled and popped and I fell down crying like a baby it was excruciating. I got mine x-rayed the next day and no breaks thankfully just a bad sprain. It’s starting to heal up slowly but surely. I hope yours heals up quickly too having both injured has to be so frustrating. Take care!

Lizzie, Ann, Beth… yep, went to the hospital. The good news was that nothing is broken. The weird news was that the x-ray showed a healed fracture from the first “sprain”. Anyhow, I’m glad I went because now the pain is less scary.

OMG, Shawn!!! That looks horribly painful!!! The left is horribly swollen! I’m glad that nothing is broken (this time)…. I hope that cuddly cats will help.
