I managed to come crashing down like a sack of spuds whilst exiting the house this evening!
As I was falling in slow motion all that flashed through my mind was who I could blame for this travesty, because it couldn’t possibly be me being clumsy and in a hurry. I decided to blame the small cluster of damp autumn leaves that no one had cleared up!! Yes, I realise that I’d had all weekend to do that myself, but hey – I think most of them were fresh ones that weren’t there this morning.
I couldn’t remember whether you were supposed to elevate/move/heat/ice/compress a sprained ankle, so I just left it hovering sort of half way and took my trainer off but not my sock. It’s a few hours ago now and it’s throbbing like mad – I also have a very (I mean VERY) sore elbow and a big bruise on my shin, so at least I have something to prove to people that I really hurt myself!!
Self pitying wallowing in own pain and misery is now over. Thank you for listening, and good night.
