Not just a sprain.
After a week of RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) the ankle was still throbbing to the point that I was honestly doing lamaze breathing in my cubicle on Monday to take my mind off the pain. I decided it was time to go into the doctors… and sure enough the ankle has a small fracture. They put me in a splint, told me I had to stay on crutches and this week I have to go get a cast. They told me it will take 4 – 6 weeks to heal. I am seriously perma-pouting. =(
