The Ankle Report
I have a brace on my ankle which is helping me when I walk. It woke me up at night again with the sharp pain of turning over, but I learned from the previous night and put ibuprofen and a glass of water on my bedside table so I could take some pain relief without getting up.
I stayed off it yesterday as much as possible, only unloading and reloading the dishes once, took out the trash, and did three loads of laundry, one load is still waiting for me to put it away. The rest of the time, I sat in bed with my foot elevated. I’m doing that right now, actually.
I woke up with a headache, and it is only getting worse. I predict an afternoon nap after Ada gets home to try and rid myself of it. I’m spending today off of it as much as possible, hoping that tomorrow I will be able to hobble around on it more and get some things around the house accomplished.
Consider using crutches to keep weight off it so it can heal.
