Ouch...getting old stinks!

While walking back to my car after picking Brinley up from school on February 4th, I stepped off a curb wrong and my heard my ankle go POP! The pain was excruciating!!! I did my best to get the car and drive Brinley to dance (thank goodness it wasn't my driving foot).  I left with kids with my friend so I could go to Urgent care.  The pain was getting worse and I was sweating badly due to the pain.  Once I got there, I took off my tennis shoe to find this....

X-rays showed I had a small chip fracture below my ankle.  The gave me a walking boot (after I told them I did not have time for a cast and crutches) to wear for the next month.  The first week was pretty painful and I could only do minimal walking on it.  I stopped wearing the boot last week (beginning of March) and it gets better daily.  I wear a brace for softball practice/games or anytime I will be doing a lot of walking, but mostly I can walk without anything on it.

 

Healing in your 30's is not fun at all! What would have been a sprain in my 20's is now a fracture in my 30's.  Getting old stinks!!!!!
