I Hurt Myself This Weekend.

Tweet

Hey there, everyone. It's been a while, but I've been busy what with the nicer weather. I'll try to share all of that in another post. Anyway. I was at Fort Howard (park) with my best friend and the Little Guy. We had just finished playing at the uncrowded playground and were heading toward the entrance. Welp, there was a dip (for lack of a better term) in the ground that I didn't notice because I wasn't looking down. It wasn't huge or anything, but it was big enough to cause the next action. I stumbled in it, my left ankle bent inward and I went down. It happened so fast and my ankle was hurting. Of course, my best friend checked on me, but I told her I needed to sit for a minute because it hurt. I was able to stand up and walk a few minutes later, but I sat at an empty picnic table for a minute. After I fell, I was a little nauseated and lightheaded, but it passed within a few minutes. I looked it up later, and it's not uncommon because it's the body's response to pain. Once I was ready, we headed to the car, and she dropped me off at home. I iced my ankle and fell asleep on the couch. It was really hurting later that night, so I iced it again and went to bed. It's swollen today, but it doesn't hurt as bad as it did last night. I did ice it for a while earlier. I'm in the van right now with my 19yr old niece. My Mom, brother-in-law and 11yr old niece are in the grocery store. I just wanted to go to 7-11, which we already did, and I decided walking around a grocery store would be a bad idea. My 19yr old niece just didn't feel like going inside the grocery store. So anyway, that's my somewhat little story for now. I'm gonna relax when I get home. I'm also not going anywhere else for a few days. I'll try to be back later. Take care, everyone.
