My ankle adventure continues (even thought I wish it wouldn't.).
Yesterday my house sandals worked like a charm on my out of the house adventure. My ankle was feeling better, and I really thought I had turned the corner. Last night, when I elevated my foot by propping it up on the couch one of the people I was hanging out with accidentally bumped into it. Immediately the area started hurting again. When I went to bed I had a horrible time finding a comfortable position, and while I tossed and turned I decided that today I would visit a doctor.
Right after breakfast I searched the insurance website for an in-network urgent care. I called shortly after they opened, and was able to make a midday appointment. At the urgent care the doctor evaluated my ankle, took some x-rays, and determined there was no fractures. (Thank goodness.)
I left wearing an orthopedic boot, which I will use until the ankle improves.

Reinjuring an owie is not fun. Glad you had it checked out. If you get the other boot, you could be ready for skiing! Follow their instructions! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteKnowing my recent luck, if I tried to ski I'd probably fall and break something!
DeleteI think getting the other boot would be a fashion statement.
ReplyDeleteOne boot is hard enough to walk in. Can't imagine trying to do it with two.
DeleteOh my! That can't be comfortable.
ReplyDeleteIt's getting better, but not very natural-feeling.
DeleteI used a boot like that to get over plantar fasciaitis. I wore it whenever I wasn't driving and it did help me get over it but they're kind of awkward things. Hope you heal fast so you can get back to normal.
ReplyDeleteAwkward is an excellent word to describe the boot.
DeleteGlad you went to urgent care
ReplyDeleteI am too. Now I have peace of mind, knowing nothing is broken.
DeleteThank GOD there were no fractures. I'm sending prayers for a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteThanks :-)
DeleteThe best news is, nothing is broken.
ReplyDeleteAmen!
DeleteGood to know nothing is broken, but walking in the boot is not for the faint of heart!
ReplyDeleteI am learning that boot walking is quite a challenge.
DeleteI can empathise. Hope you feel better by the day.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I am.
DeletePraying for your quick and complete healing.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Many thanks.
DeleteGlad you've been to the doctor and that it's not fractured. Hope the boot helps.
ReplyDeleteI've come to the conclusion that the boot is a great assistance around active boys.
DeleteI actually hiked down and back up a small hill when I had my first encounter with the boot. Judah was a small guy and wanted to "ride" the tractor at his other grandparents' property. I seemed to be the only adult willing to go down and back with him. You will be just fine with your small kiddos. I hope you have a good shoe for the other foot. It helps to wear one that matches the raised height of the boot. This time around I had a great espadrille that worked perfectly.
DeleteI understand what you're saying about the other foot's shoe. I think I will be making a chiropractor visit soon.
DeleteI've had that boot before, very cumbersome, but it does help. Hope you're better soon.
ReplyDeleteI decided I would do whatever it took to get better.
