Happy Friday everyone! I've been down and out for a bit... A few weeks ago I hurt my back. I was in bed literally for days, couldn't hardly move...eventually it got better. I was good for about a week or so, started to feel comfortable with exercising... Even started to forget about my back! How exciting, right? Ya...well then last Sunday I was working my butt off outside in the side yard. Cleaning up, kicking butt, throwing stuff away...It was awesome.
I was only going to do so much, but the side yard was looking so good! I couldn't stop, I was almost done! So there were some boards that needed to get cut so we (husband and I) could just toss it in the garbage when the can wasn't so full. The boards were actually plywood. They were rotted, moldy...just plain nasty. They were tough to break on our own so my husband thought we should just cut it with a saw. Sure thing! Well, it wasn't working out so well... So he propped it up and said to just kick it. Sweet! That was so much fun. It really, really was. I got the board 2 times; doing great. But then the third try came...it was all bad...
I hurt my ankle. It hurt so bad. I was so scared to even try to use my foot right after I kicked that board. But I knew that I had to try so I did and it was hard. Had to sit right back down. In a matter of seconds my ankle was so so SO swollen. It looked so bad. I told my husband that I had to get to the doctor. My breath started to become short and I got super dizzy. I seriously thought I was going to pass out. I just made sure to take deep breaths and stay calm. When I got inside the car my head started to feel better and I was able to catch my breath.
To the emergency room I went. They took x-rays and gave me some ibuprofen. Thankfully, it wasn't broken! I was so happy about that. However, I still needed to use crutches and stay off my foot for a couple of weeks.
I haven't been able to do anything! Aside from video games anyway :) Yesterday I went to Costco and shopped for about an hour with out the crutches. My foot was good! I knew I shouldn't have done that, but at that moment it was necessary. Today, my ankle hurts a little extra bad. I know it's from walking around so much yesterday... I made sure to set myself up so I can work on my computer today :)
I'm really hoping it heals up fast. My whole foot and ankle are swollen and very much bruised. The bruising goes all the way up around my shins area. Seriously, from my toes to my shins...I'm super bruised up. It's gnarly!
I hope everyone is having a great Friday! "See" you soon!
