*on crutches*

:/ I am! I sprained my ankle really badly getting off the bus, on my way home from work, yesterday. I stood on a bottle that was laying on one of the steps and twisted the *bliiip!* out of my foot! The swelling was instantaneous! *ouch!* I couldn't stand on my foot at all... I tried taking a few steps and I got a cold sweat in the clammy heat and the world started spinning... Not good!

I called my dad to come and get me and the 15 min it took for him to get to the bus station felt like forever. When he came he drove me straight up to the A&E (or the ER to the Americans ;)). Where we got to see a Dr., had x-rays taken of my foot and a diagnosis of a sprained ankle + handed my crutches in less than three hours! :D Probably an emergency room record and I wasn't even bleeding! ;) The benefit of getting hurt "early" on a Wednesday evening I guess... :D

The Dr. ordered me to a week of rest (i.e. I'm off sick from work! :/ ) and told me to not put any weight/strain on the foot for 3-4 days and then only gently support myself on it after that and I'd be back to normal after a week... hmm...? the recovery in the last few days must be remarkable if I'm supposed to be ready for my on-my-feet-all-day-long-job in that time. We'll see how things go... I'm following Dr's orders! :) Not much else I can do as my ankle is well swollen still (and an interesting slightly purple/blue shade) and really doesn't seem to be in the mood for being messed with. ;D

Today we've been visited by Big sis and her girls and my mum who've helped out with keeping me and kiddies entertained! ♥ Thank you! :)
