Welp, I Rolled My Ankle Again.

Can you believe it? I mean, I can’t, but I also can because I’m a clutz and apparently uneven pavements are the enemy. My 11yr old niece and I were walking to the store, and I wound up bending my ankle inward and somewhat falling again. I say “somewhat” because I was really looking to sit down. She got upset because she’s sensitive (and that’s okay), and I knew I needed to go home and take care of it, so we nixed the store. I was really only going for a Starbucks Double Shot, which my brother-in-law and niece picked up for me a little while ago. Mocha, btw lol. The bad news is it’s the same ankle I rolled back in March. The good news is I was able to get home and take care of it quicker than the last time. I’m using the RICE method - Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. I rested, iced and elevated earlier and will do so again in a little bit, as well as when I go to bed. I bought these compression sleeves for my arches, but they helped my ankle the last time, so I have them on now (and I’ll take them off at bedtime). I have too much coming up to have to deal with this again. Luckily, one of those plans is an annual doctor’s appointment in a few weeks, so he can check it out if need be. My brother-in-law told me that since I injured my ankle a few months ago, it’s prone to injury, so I just need to be more careful. Yep, I agree, I need to be extra careful from here on out. All I was doing was walking though lol. But yeah, I just need to watch out for uneven areas of the pavement and other paths. Anyway, I’m not going to let it stop me from working. Thankfully, it’s not as bad as it was the last time, probably because I was able to get home quicker, and I’m sitting while I work, so I think it’ll be okay. You all take care and I’ll be back soon.
