iceskating at my freinds 16th birthday party. And yes, it is officially classified as a sprained ankle. The worst part is I sat there for an hour and a half freezing my socks off because I felt bad leaving.
When I woke up the next morning, my ankle was huge. So we went into urgent care with james' old crutches. They were all impressed- apperently I am a crutch pro. No surprise there- ive been playing with those things since I was five. Anyway, I got exrays and as far as they can tell nothing is ripped or broken but all the ligaments in my lower leg and foot are like overstretched rubber bands. So its sore like crazy and swells alot.
This just doesn't do the swelling justice.
Yesterday I got an elevator key and permission to drive to seminary for a week! Yay!
Anyway, today I am super sore from all that crutching around. I cant rase my arms above my head or use my crutches, so I just stayed home and hobbled around. On the plus side, maybe now I will have a little more upper body streingth.
Oh ya! and now I have new crutches and an ankle brace. I guess the old crutches werent good enough or something because they insisted that I get new ones, even though the old ones would have worked fine.
Thats the story!

I am so sorry!
I feel your pain! I can't count the times I have done this! Once I walked off a porch (I forgot there was a step) and tore the ligaments in my right ankle. It got HUGE!
oh man dude, I'm so sorry! Crutches are the worst! I had to use crutches for a while after I tore my ACL at BYU. It was AWFUL walking on that campus with crutches, man. all those stairs! egads! My underarms were KILLING by the end of that week. I finally just walked on it I was so sick of them. Also, once I fell on the stairs in the ESC at BYU and sprained my ankle. got SO BIG. it was out of control. I never saw a doctor but it was unbelievable how much it got swollen. Plus I was in the dorms so I didn't have any ice for it. Ouch. I hope it feels better REALLY soon.
Whose crutches? My old ones from when I broke my leg?
