So yesterday I did something stupid. Well actually something stupid happened to me. The girls and I met Andy for an early dinner last night. Andy had a meeting and then music practice. We went to this place called Patty's. It is right next to some railroad tracks. After dinner I was walking out to the car holding Maggie. I stepped over the rail of the track and onto some of the big gravel rocks . As I stepped down the rocks slipped and my ankle turned over and I landed on my ankle bone and the other knee. Not dropping my little girl. I looked up and Andy said nice save. I handed him Mags and tried to not cry. I limped to the car and drove home. Driving hurt like crazy, but I sucked it up and drove with tears rolling down my cheeks. When we got home Andy took Emma with him to the meeting and practice. I sat down to ice my ankle. Ten minutes later my ankle was swelling a lot. The ankle bone was huge. It has gone down today, but here is a photo from today.
I decided that I would go to the doctor. I just wanted to make sure I didn't crack the ankle bone. My Mom came in and took me to the doctor. Mags fell asleep in the backseat, so my Mom sat in the car with her for two hours while I was at the doctor. My Mom is great! Well after X rays and having the doctor push on my ankle and ask where it hurts. Why do doctors push and ask where it hurts and then keep pushing on the same spot. I almost hit her. Anyway it is not broken praise the Lord. Now I am limping around with an air cast. I'm just glad I can walk (sort of) and no cast. Praise the Lord!
