(this is my right foot, the elephant ankle)
(this is what it should look like, my left ankle)
I was coming out of my friends apartment at night, and totally missed a step!
You know how sometimes people fall and you want to laugh but you make sure they are ok first?
Ya, this wasn't one of those times, according to my friend. He said it was one of those "OH MY GOSH are you alright?!" kind of falls.
Basically, I just landed on it super wrong and it swelled up and it looked like I had Elephantitus!
Although, I have to say, the color it turned was a very pretty purple.
Anyways, being the stubborn person I am, I never opted to use crutches or milk it for sympathy. I'm no whimp! Everyone is so nice though. I tried to limp as little as possible, but people could still tell so they offered me rides and brough me ice packs and an ace bandage to wrap it with.
I probably stopped wearing the ace bandage too soon. I even braved heels the following Sunday...
It's a lot better, but still healing.
(again, this is what my ankle NORMALLY looks like)
Although my choice of shoes had nothing to do with THIS fall, I did get some new boots(thanks to all my super loving and amazing friends!) So now at least I won't slip on the ice anymore, like I did a few weeks ago.
So that's the most recent news. I know, my life is exhilarating right?

Wow, that really swelled up! I hope it heals quickly, unlike my toe! Did I tell you that it is still huge and still hurts every now and then! Well, it probably isn't as painful as your ankle though. Maybe if you think you took the wrap off too soon you could wrap it some of the time.
Anyway, glad that you finally posted and thanks for always commenting on my blog!
