taz struck me on the right ankle when we were in the water at the beach with jaanka & tally today. quite a lot of pain initially then i wanted to sit on the beach & be miserable but realised the cold water of the Indian Ocean would probably be the best thing for it.
hence it hurt, but was manageable until after i woke from a nap this afternoon & thought i was DYING from the pain. argh! even had a bit of a cry & was a general misery guts. fortunately i have a lovely boyfriend who made icepacks & ... helped me to the toilet. :(
we also have a walking stick on hand for such medical emergencies, lol.
swollen & generally yuck. jed gone to get crutches & various supplies from the chemist now. realised i needed crutches because i couldn't frigging WALK on the bastard.
all toes can move & there's movement in the ankle joint itself, so i'm confident nothing's broken. have a scheduled doc's appt on friday anyway, so if i'm still a cripple by then we'll see.
i've been a bit hysterical with laughter over the pain. don't know what that's about. had two panadol but clearly that's not enough!
anyways. better update with pics later.
