Walking update.....March 7-13th
Hopefully I will get to walk by Friday or Sat. I turned my ankle over last Sat. during my walk so that was it for me the rest of the weekend. I iced it on Sat. then used heat on Sunday and as of today..Tues..it's pretty good. I had slight bruising and internal swelling so I definitely injured it. I fell down on my hands and knees but luckily the only thing I injured was my ankle. I was still able to walk...which I had to do to get home...so it was good it wasn't badly sprained. I did it stepping off a curb...looked stupid I can assure you too. I even had an audience, two people walking their dog but did they ask how I was or "can I help you?" NOOOOOO!!!!!!! They just stood there at the end of their driveway and looked at me...probably waited to see if I got up or not. So...feel and look stupid...yes...having an audience...DOUBLY stupid.
Unfortunately, the ankle thing happens to me frequently. It has to do with this weird inherited condition where all the bones in my feet want to look like mountain peaks on the X-Ray. I wear orthotics in my walking shoes to keep them in a normal position but every once in a while, I'll just be walking along and boom...it just turns over on the next step. It could be a perfectly flat surface too. If it happens more frequently I guess I'll have to go in for a checkup....maybe the orthotics are worn and aren't fitted correctly. *sigh*
