Sprained ankle

I sprained my ankle at work on December 26th.

I was working and putting something away in a cooler,
and didn't realize the floor was as damp as it was. I fell...
AND I was wearing slip-resistant shoes. How crazy is that?!
Anyway I came limping out of the cooler, and one of my favorite
co-workers rushed to my side to ask if I was okay.

Of course, I said no. So he went to get the manager, and she asked
me how I was doing. I was still limping pretty badly, but I thought
I would be able to work on it.

Ha ha ha... An hour later it was starting to swell, so my manager
took me to the ER; where I spent 3 fun [not really!] hours
getting looked at the doctor, the x-ray techs, the nurses, etc.

2 weeks and 4 days later, it's still not healed. I went to
Employee Health yesterday and they decided that I need
to start physical therapy. So that starts tomorrow. Yippee!!

If you could just say a little prayer for me b/c it still hurts.
The pain level when I fell was at an 8. The pain level now, 2 wks
and 4 days later, is at a 5. Not really a big different.

Anyway that's my story. Hope everyone is having a great
night. Stay out of the cold [well try to anyway], and stay
warm!!

Love,
Me
