maxie4's Journal, 22 February 2018

Good morning
Well In blaming this on anything I can but I should have been more careful...got out of the shower this early morning..half dressed and slipped on the ceramic tile floor...foot went under me..a popping sound alerted me..and there I sat doing an assessment on my ankle ..
I was in restorative nursing here before I began working in the lock down unit so I preformed my own assessment right then and there ..
I didn't break it...worse care scenario ..a hair line fracture...torn ligaments...sprained ankle...will wait and see not unless it would become to painful to walk on it in the next few days.
I did arrive at work though..its ace wrapped, ibuprofen, bag of ice I retrieved here and a bedside table so far for support to walk around when needed...
ankle is now double in size geez lol.. thank God it was my right ankle because I'm driving the SUV..its standard shift...rag top which is an automatic is in shop for routine maintenance.
Hey I know.... I can blame it on the macaroni and cheese tasting I had last night for hubbys birthday remember lol...it has me all combobulated in being able to have clarity in thought...
Have a great day everyone and thank you for the sweet comments on the macaroni and cheese sampling last night ha ha...your all such good people... I'm glad I met you here... I'm lucky again...I have you;)

Oh no!!! I am so sorry about the fall!! I have taken to wearing socks in the shower (which makes my husband so annoyed) because my feet are so dry, I slip all the time. I hope its not too bad!!! Sending you prayers and hugs!!

Oh dear, I am so sorry to hear about your fall...been there more than once and it is usually when I am over-tired. Pamper yourself and at the very least don't do any double shifts! And Murph, I fell so hard on the stairs in July last year that I thought I had broken my hip so count me out on who's next! LOL!

Last year I tripped over a throw rug. It was comforting to know that my dog looked at me and offered to help me get me up. Or maybe the treats I had in my hand that was the incentive? Don't wait too long to have it checked out. I had to hop like a bunny through PT for a while..

@Ginger, Thank God for that, must have been a heck of a tumble.

Maxie, l asked Bunny about your ankle and she asked if it just happened,l said no..so ice is out at that pt.it keeps the swelling down.Next your suppose to keep it wrapped and apply warmth to relax the injury,..adding a slight elevation. Find your crutches and grab the bull by the horns..that's Murph's rec..Hahaha lol

Hope it feels better soon. Bless your heart. Prayers for a quick recovery. Take it easy until then.😯

ha ha ha murph...yep bunnys on point with her advise..Im difficult to keep down and my Gregs on me to sit down and elevate.... I did have an xray at urgent care..no break from what they could tell...tomorrow see radiologist another xray and getting check for a torn tendon...off at least the next few days ...doctor stated the way my ankle looked he couldn't believe I had went to work on it. I stated I'm old school and show up to work come heck or high water... Well thank you my lovely friends and may no one here come across that old mean fall monster who trips you up because he cant get you to mess up on your plan to feel better...ha ha
