So I was walking down the stairs at my church, talking and laughing with some friends, and suddenly, my feet don't work and I'm trying to stay upright...I had missed the last step before the landing, and landed on the side of my foot. I was hoping this was like every other ungraceful decent I've made down the stairs, and tried to walk as usual.
No such luck. My foot hurt with every step. Under friendly advice, I went home and put ice on it. It turned greenish blue, and swollen. So..I went to the doctor, only to have her say.. wrap it and ice it and go get an x-ray. And the x-rays are negative so I've got a sprain on my hands (uh, I mean my foot) though not my ankle apparently, but the inner joints of my foot which are used with each and every step.
And if I didn't feel silly, and clutzy enough for doing this in the first place--you should see the progress I make on crutches! And the colors my foot is turning, ah.. well.. it's like a rainbow...
Grrr. why is getting hurt so dang inconvenient??

Poor Holly!! I've done that I can't remember how many times (most in high school) ... but I was stupid and didn't use crutches, and forced myself to keep going to dance classes and playing volleyball ... I'm paying for it now. My feet absolutely kill me with just a little over-exertion. Stay on those crutches, girlie ...
too late! besides, crutches were killer on the rest of me! (shoulders, hands, good leg)I think it's finally getting better, though I'm still walking funny.
