day 5

Well, here we are, Day 5 since the fracture...still swollen, turning all sorts of colors and still hurting, but not as badly as the first couple days. Lovely huh?

Just call me cankles....YUCK!

just what i needed.....not to have happen

I'm so frustrated right now. I went out to play/take pictures of Cayden playing in the snow a little bit today. I had layed Prestyn down for a nap & headed out. Cayden had sledded down 2 hills and was headed back to the first, he had just handed me his rope to the sled. I was turning around and whoosh....slipped and fell. I heard something "crunch" or "snap" when I went down and IMMEDIATE pain in my right ankle. Justyn had to help me inside. I'm such a whimp I was breathing through the pain like I was in labor and even got teared up. Between the pain and the frustration I just wanted to scream.

I can't put any pressure on it & to even HOP with Justyn's help hurts. So I've been crawling to the bathroom since it doesn't hurt as bad...TMI I know, but it's the truth.

I've had it propped and iced since then & the outer part of my ankle is very swollen and above the ankle is very swollen too....stinky stinky. Luckily Justyn is home to help out. He's been amazing.

Oh and I can't forget how awesome it was to have a box of my favorites (MILK DUDS) brought over! Nothing cures a hurt like milk duds.....thanks Heather - you rock!!!

I'll have to take a picture of my ankle sometime...yeek.
