My Ankle

So I was walking down my staircase a few weeks ago and was reading my iphone.  There was a story about Sonny Bryan's having a fire in the kitchen and I guess that was important for me to know about at the time.  I missed the last step and twisted my ankle.  My ankle immediately started swelling and I really thought I had broken in based on the popping noise I heard.  Instead, I had a very severe sprain.  This is never fun with 2 kids and a husband who was leaving town the next morning for work and cannot miss work at this point in the year.  It seems to also be the way I christen our new houses.

Right after the fall

1 Day Later

Basically I needed to stay off my foot more than I have.  My grandmother came to visit for 10 days and I really enjoyed her company.  We went to Walmart and had fun riding the scooters.

I also enjoyed having the use of my Grandma's handicap sticker.  Unfortunately it really became a necessity with my ankle at this point.  So, I now have my own...

I'm starting to listen to what I've been told.  I even rode my own scooter at Walmart today so that I could stay off my foot as much as possible.
