Oh man I twisted my ankle

I was taking garbage and recycles out to the dumpsters. As I was walking across the grass I thought to myself "they really should level this out" (after tearing out some dead trees) and then BAM I went down. My balance isn't the greatest but that was just nuts. Luckily I was able to just get up and get everything into the dumpsters. My ankle is feeling sore now though. I hope it doesn't swell up. I'm so over that after the past couple of weeks.

Now why did you go and do a thing like that? Ouch, I hate sprained ankles. I hope yours will feel better, perhaps soak in Epsome salts it so you can get to work on Monday more easily,

I hope you're able to keep off it for the rest of the day and give it a chance to recover.

Oh no, that's scary, glad you were able to get up and finish the job though. Uneven grass can get anyone, so dont be too hard on yourself about your balance. Hope the ankle feels better soon, maybe rest it and put some ice on it today.
