I was taking out garbage and cardboard last Saturday when I twisted and sprained my ankle in a hole that the idiots here left after ripping out a tree or bush or whatever it was.
Well that left me as a hot mess. I had Monday off anyway because it was Columbus Day but I also had to take Tuesday and Wednesday off because I could barely walk and my car has a manual transmission. I need both feet to drive it.
I got my way into work yesterday and limped around. Today I did better. When I woke up my ankle looked almost normal but it definitely swelled after a couple of hours on my feet. It is still swollen but not nearly as much as it was before.
Everyone told me to go get an x-ray but you all know how much I hate dealing with doctors. I can walk. The swelling is way down. I'm good. I'm pissed off at the management here for never filling in that hole and I am going to call them on Monday. They are lucky that I didn't break my ankle.

That's good news that your ankle is almost better.
