AWWWWWWWW.

*hugs gently* Poor you! That is not a good way for the world to reward you for being all helpful for your mother.

Tell me about it. Ugh.

Heh. That's one of my favorite icons I have.

I'll tell you again from a professional massage therapist perspective:

Rest - rest the ankle (no more up and down stairs for a few days)
Ice - ice it as much as you can stand. This keeps the swelling down.
Compression - ACE bandages are your friend, for those moments you have to use your legs.
Elevation - keep it elevated as much as possible.

All these things keep blood from pooling in the affected area, making it more swollen and less able to heal. After a few days, you can start alternating ice and heat to the ankle if you need to. See me then for the secret recipe.

The only issue is that I have to go up and down stairs for Shannon's concert tonight. That's the only way to get in and out of the house and in and out of the theater building.

*dies*

I hope your ankle gets to feeling better nice and quickly!
