• So Much For That

  Apparently, even though Urgent Care is "open" until 4pm on Saturdays, they stop taking patients sooner because when I got there, there was a sign that said they were closed. So... my option was ER or go home. This is probably the 6th or 7th sprained ankle I've had and, actually, it's relatively mild, like I can skip the crutch phase and go right to the wearing an ankle stabilizer, but I should stay off of it as much as I can for a few days. Anyway, I know it's not broken, so going to the ER would have been useless, they would've taken an xray, told me to ice it and wrap it, take an anti-inflammatory, and stay off of it for a few days.

  So, here I am, back on the couch with my ankle wrapped, iced, and elevated with ibuprofen on board. As far as how it happened, DP had just dropped me off to pick up my contacts I took two steps out of the car and my ankle bent under me really hard. I looked later and there was a dip in the pavement (the beginnings of a pothole) where I had walked, so maybe that was what caused it.
