Sprained Ankle

This Saturday was a math-department takes over the Honey extravaganza. As always, when girls get ready to go out, the usual fashion show ensues: we got all dressed up, trying on different tops (Sophie) and dresses (me), we also made Chelsea try on different possible dancing clothes with the slim hope of her joining us (she didn't). So 2-3 outfits later (and 2-3 drinks later), off we went to conquer the town!

The music was good, the dancing was better, and overall we had an incredibly enjoyable night... but then in the morning, I wake up to go to the bathroom, and fall over in pain: I've strained my right ankle. It's huge, and a bit bruised. As the day goes on, it gets bigger and becomes bluer. According to the Internet, I've sustained a Grade 2 sprain. According to the doctor (I went to the school clinic today), I've ripped a major tendon on the right side of my ankle and a few small ones the left side. Prescription? Nope, unfortunately not... just ice, elevation, pressure, you all know the drill. BUT she also said that I needed physiotherapy starting in a week, otherwise I'd be prone to many more sprains as my tendon is now weak. She also asked if I was clumsy... ... ... well I do tend to trip over my own feet, and walk into walls, and fall over the sidewalk, and umm, yeah... definitely clumsy. So then she said that she very strongly recommends physio. I'm going to have to look into whether my insurance covers that or not.

Now I'm walking with a limp, and must wear my ankle brace for another 4 weeks, and no running whatsoever for that time as well... hopefully I'll pick it up again once I can, and experience another one of those runner's highs!!
