Ow!

I'm hobbling around on a sore ankle today. Yesterday i came up to the front desk in our office and a coworker was standing there. He moved backwards just as i approached, not realizing i was there. We bumped a bit and i swerved to get round him but my ankle didn't and i felt it twist on me. Those damned weak ligaments again! I went down on my knees but got up ok. The ankle is a bit swollen and stiff though i did ice it last night. It'll be ok in a few days i should imagine and it's not the worst i've ever hurt it. I may go down to the drugstore when it opens though and get either an elastic support bandage or elastic ankle sock depending on what they have and how big the sock is. I don't want my circulation cutting off!

My ankles are always letting me down, literally! The worst time was in winter once when i was going down a bit of a hill. I skidded a bit on the rock salt on the sidewalk, ankle went over and down i went, knees first into the concrete and rock salt. Talk about rubbing salt into a wound! I tore my knees up that time, it was debateable which leg to limp on, the swollen ankle one or the knee that was the more damaged. It's still got scars on it!

Anyway i cancelled my gym appointment today because the ankle would be aggravated by the exercise and i couldn't do the cardio bit anyway, not today. It would have been the first session with my new trainer too but it will have to be put off until Monday. I'm sure it will be ok by then or nearly. Enough that i can at least use the exercise bike probably.
