This one's not an April fool's joke (today's Apr 2 in Oz)...
I was at church last night hanging up some decorations for the kidz programme. I stood on a table to reach the rafters and must have tripped on something on the table, because next thing I knew, I was on the ground, and had rolled my left ankle. I spent the rest of the night with some ice and my foot bandaged and put up on a chari...
Today it's still a bit swollen, and it hurts a bit more than yesterday... good thing it's Sunday - I can stay at home and rest my foot.
Sympathetic lot, aren't they? There there.
That really sucks. Take care of your ankle, and make sure you don't try to get back on it too early. If possible, see a physiotherapist.
My wife severely twisted her ankle almost eleven years ago. It is still weak and can cause nagging little problems. Her sports-medicine-person says that if she'd broken it outright, it would have been better in the long run.
.. do you think it happening in church means anything?
hey, you must go a see a doc, sometimes some injures can get very serious later.
x-ray
hey that will be great some shots of ankle been x-ray!!
not good ST I hope you will be back on you feet (foot) soon.........
I bet you were hopping mad.
take care, rest up and get better soon Jules, at least you can still sit at the computer!
That's indeed a bugger! I hope you'll be better soon.
I hope you get better soon... I also think you should see a doctor... you might have some days off from work to rest your foot...
Hey thanks everyone for the well wishes...
Been resting it the whole day and having ice on it... it's a nasty black colour in some parts.. lol... very pretty.
How does it feel to be me.

I've been dealing with a troubled knee for almost 2 years now. I finally had it looked at and it's a cartilage tear. It swells at times and gets sore but as long as I keep it wrapped I can still mountain bike and play hockey. I'm not ready for arthroscopic surgery yet. I went ahead and booked it a year from now. The way I see it is if in a year it needs to be done I'll do it, if not I'll rebook. I'll live with it until absolutely necessary. New job and all I can't afford to be off 3-4 months.
