The Ankle Report, 1-24-08
This is Michele Canty, reporting on her broken ankle from York.
Since my last report, I've only fallen on my broken ankle once, and I didn't even cry.
Ok, maybe just a little. . .
Anywho, I'm currently in sunny VA with the family (it's like 10-15 degress warmer than PA), hanging out at my parents' home in Newport News.
They've been great.
My mom has been cooking me healthy meals, because we're trying to keep my weight where it is.
My dad has only threatened to hit my broken ankle with a cane once. (Maybe that's because I teased him about being older than the oldest man in the Bible, or at least knowing that guy, but that's not really the point.)
Mostly, things are good. I'm still in some pain, and my ankle is still swollen to almost the size of a softball.
But lots of packs of ice usually help with the swelling.
I'm just hoping the ankle is in better shape by sandal season. I will not give up my strappy, open-toed shoes.
But I digress. . .
On the bright side, I'm with family and have good books to read.
I'm learning to get around better with my walker, and watching re-runs of "Scrubs."
Life is OK. I'm getting better.
Now, if only I could figure out how to navigate those pesky stairs. . . .
Say what? You didn't know I broke my ankle?
Well, you've got to catch up. Here are the posts:
