I sprained my ankle last night! It is mild, but I am so mad and sore! I was walking out of my yoga class and was walking to my car (last night in the dark) on the sidewalk and BAM! My toes hit the edge of the sidewalk which was broken and lifted up (due to Houston's high water table). Trying not to fall I flailed around and got my footing. BAD IDEA! Today I am paying for it... I should have just fell on the ground. My entire body is sore including my ankle.
I am going to call the City of Houston about this. First for the un even side walks that are too old and then second for the lack of light at night! The trees are so over grown that they block street lamps! Ugh!
I tried going for my morning walk this morning, but I didn't make it far... had to turn back and go home.
So it'll be ice and taking it easy for a bit. What a mess!

My hubby wrapped it last night before we went to bed. I woke up this morning and was able to walk on it with little pain. I thought about going on my walk, but I skipped and slept in. So It is feeling better. The rest of my body is sore, but I'm hanging in there. Giving things a rest.

Glad to hear you're doing better.

Take an ibuprophen...it should help with the pain and decrease the swelling. Glad you feel a little better

Doing better... driving me nuts to stay off of it. My hubby has been great about helping me wrap it. I'll take a few more days off from working out. It'll be hard, but I have to.

Hope you are feeling better soon!

Well, looks like I'll survive! I have been off my foot for over 3 days. I'm about to go nuts staying off of it. I love my morning walks. Gets my body and mind going. It's been hard sitting and doing basic things (folding laundry, watching chick flicks... not a bad deal), but I love the outdoors so I'm going to wrap my ankle and take it slow tomorrow morning. My mother is in town to visit me and my sister's new baby. She's amazing. She has really transformed herself. She's been running for over 2 years now. Lost 56 pounds and looks fabulous! She runs 6 miles a day.... When my feet were in better condition (I have bunions that are bad now) I ran 3-4 miles a day. I'm now down to walking. Next year (maybe summer) I hope to have them removed... if all goes well. Bad when your body works against you when you want to stay in shape.
