It was at the local YMCA....
Coming down the stairs I thought I was at the bottom.............I was not and ended up "twisting" my ankle.. NOW I probably would have gone down had I not been surrounded by strangers, so I played it off like all was fine but KNEW that it really wasn't.. I did hear "bubble wrap" as it happened and I've never heard that before.
Then about an hour later I had to take off my boot and sock to go into the pool area to watch Norah because she doesn't know how to swim...
I kinda freaked out a bit at the sight before me..it was in fact a "potato".. Then I had to put both sock and boot back on (remember strangers)**almost cried**
walking back to the party room I heard one more "pop" and thought well that wasn't good.......
Mom and sister hooked me up with some crutches and a "boot" so I could get around but if you look in this house you can tell "mom's been out of commission" (ha, poor big kids are out of clean cloths)
Anyway yesterday after resting it during nap time I forgot I had taken boot off and walked to the bathroom. I felt what I can only describe as "crinkly"...not sure what that was but it gave me some shooting pain behind my ankle and a little up my calf......
So long story short, I'm not as young as I used to be, DANGIT!!
As long as I wear my sexy hose and the "boot" I can walk pretty good and just feel really sore.......... I suppose running's out eh?!?!?!?!

Oh Janet!!! I have sprained my left ankle 4 times! It is the most horrible pain and just plain awful to have to deal with. I am so sorry. After it feels better I would honestly suggest doing some physical therapy exercises (You can find them on youtube) to strengthen you ankle so that it doesn't happen again, and again like it has to me. Sending love!
OH MAN ! I'm sorry !
I can't believe you were trying to be brave. Shit. I would have made an ass out of myself...laughing at myself but would have definitely sat down and not done any more damage. crazy lady.
Hope you did in fact just sprain it and didn't chip a bone.
A bone fragment could make it's way places that might cause you to never run again.
Just sayin.
And what's worse ladies is that I had 3 hours left of this party and proceeded to help mom pass out cake since NONE of the 12 adult family members(including dad) offered to help.. Well 1 did after I was halfway done and putting plates on an empty pizza box to lesson my trips......... UGH!!!
Oh Ouch! That sucks all kinds of bad. I hope it heals up super de duper quick. Or I hope you can at least enjoy taking it "easy" for a little while longer.
