friday
Had a nice visit with Lyn yesterday morning. She bought a few things and I fixed a necklace chain that she had. Afterwards I ate lunch and then tried to rest and take a nap but my ankle was hurting too much so Dave took me in town to get an xray.
Yesterday morning, just after I wrote my LJ I was getting up and caught my foot on the edge of the table and put my weight on my foot while it was in the wrong position. I heard a snap and my gosh the pain. Made me feel sick. After about 5 minutes I found I could walk on it but couldn't flex it very far. I thought I should get it checked out. Thank goodness it is basically okay - nothing broken. After the Nurse Practitioner wrapped it in an ace bandage it felt way better. So now that's what I'm doing - wrapping it. I got a paper with some exercises to do.
*****
My melodica arrived and whenever I play it Andy sings along. He can't stop himself. It used to be that if you played a particular song (Puff, the Magic Dragon) on the penny whistle you could get him to sing but he will sing for any song on the melodica. He starts with little yips and then goes to howls as he gets warmed up. Rainy joins in too after he gets going.
Another dark and wet day. Sleet. Blaa. The N. P. recommended an elastic ankle sleeve that I could wear instead of using an ace bandage. I think I will drive to town later and get one of those.
