Sprain Pain

Ridiculous. Yesterday, Richard and I were on our way out the door and let's just say I barely made it out! Here's how the sprain pain came about... Richard went out to the car and I was getting my shoes on and going to lock the door. I stepped out the doorway on my left foot, started to pivot to lock the door from the outside and wham! Snap, crackle, pop! I was down on the ground with a hurting ankle. I was able to gather my almost-passed-out self enough to get Richard's attention. He came and helped me get back inside. I was still feeling very woozy but eventually crawled to the couch to apply ice and elevate my ankle. After much contemplation, I decided I better have it checked out at Urgent Care. An hour and a half later, the prognosis is a 2-3 degree sprain. I recieved a brace, crutches, pain relief and a hard time from Richard. I should be completely healed in a short 6 weeks. Yesterday and today I have spent much more time on the couch and in bed than I have in a VERY long time. It is difficult to be this helpless. My pocket on my sweatshirt comes in very handy when I need to carry items from point A to point B. The crutches provide much relief to my ankle, but can be clumbersome and really work your arm muscles! Hopefully, I will be off of them by the end of the week. Argghh..... this is ridiculous!
