Ugh, that's right. I'm hurt.
It was 95+ here all weekend. I took Saturday off from exercising after 4 miles on Friday. Sunday, we decided to go hit golf balls at the driving range of the golf course my in-laws live in.
It was all going great, until I accidentally put my token into the ball machine without a basket. Cue golf balls EVERYWHERE.
I caught as many as I could, and was trying to get over to M's box to deposit the balls. Unfortunately, there was a rogue golf ball in my path that I was unaware of. I came down on it with my right foot, kind of sideways.
I couldn't put my weight on my ankle for about 5 mins. I could walk gingerly after that. It was swollen, but not bruised or sore to the touch. I iced it, elevated it, and took some Advil.
And it's been the same ever since - almost 36hrs later. It's still swollen, though not bruised. I can walk okay, but have to go down stairs one at a time. Turning my foot in hurts like hell. And I keep hearing/feeling popping inside of my ankle.
Sigh. I was so looking forward to making 3 miles this week without walking. I was looking forward to EXERCISING after almost two weeks off.
In good news - I lost nearly 2 lbs on vacation. Whaaaaaaat.
Sorry bout your scary encounter with the golf balls that has left you a cripple. Freaky and random and sucky! Good luck getting better! Awesome bout the weight loss.
