Today…
(ggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)
Today started off really good…didn’t end up that way, unfortunately.
I was able to get a bit more of the house “unpacked” and broke down some boxes. If the boxes can be broken down, we are going to save them in a bigger box, for the next time we move. It isn’t a huge box, but big enough to keep some boxes. I really hate having to search for boxes.
Then…
I went to pick up the kids from school. I got out of the van and headed for the area where I meet the two kids. I didn’t make it. I inadvertently stepped into a rut, and my ankle turned. I felt the darn thing snap too. The pain went down enough for me to walk normally back to the car. But after driving the whole 1 mile home, I couldn’t walk. My ankle has swollen up a bit and it is very painful. I called the doctor and he gave me a prescription and told me to keep my ankle up.
I mulled over the idea of going to the hospital, and being my normal ornery self, decided that it didn’t turn enough colors to make me believe it is broken. The only bruise is on the back of the ankle bone (the one that sticks out) and it is about the size of a dime. After telling the doctor, he didn’t think it was broken either. I make a horrible patient…must have something to do with my being an EMT in a previous life, and three years of nursing school.
Unfortunately, it has also put a damper on tomorrow’s plans. We were going to go back up to Old Sturbridge Village again. As I can’t walk, I will be staying home, but the kids and hubby will be going. They were too excited about the trip; I didn’t want to keep them from going. They will take pictures and I will go again sometime soon.
So, instead of walking around Sturbridge, I will be watching a Harry Potter marathon with one of my friends, who want to keep my company while I am home alone. I might hobble outside, if it is nice and put some bulbs into the ground. I meant to do that today…but for obvious reasons, it never got done.
Oh well, just call me gympy
