Guest guest Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Sunday night I went to take out some garbage to the trash can in the garage. I did not see that my husband left his boots by the can. I stepped on them and started to lose my balance. I think I put my left foot back to stop from falling into the street rod. As I did I had this pain shot thru my right ankle and foot. When I went to try and right myself I realized I couldn't put any weight on it. So I had to let myself fall. Luckily I fell on my bottom. I couldn't get up and realized that if I yelled no one was home and all the doors were locked. I did manage to crawl into the kitchen and got ice and crawled upstairs. So I iced and wrapped my foot in an ace bandage. I thought I just pulled muscles in my foot. So I declined going to the ER when hubby got home. I did go to urgent care and had it x-rayed. No breaks, just a moderate sprain. They gave me an air cast and crutches. So for the next at least 2 weeks I will be hobbling around. I am just annoyed at spraining my ankle in such a stupid way. But they say the home in the place were most accidents happen. Hope the rest of you are managing. Gentle hugs, Tami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
