Ow, Ow, Ow

Bill and I went out to The Outback for a salad last night.  Actually,  I had the salad, he had the steak and crab cakes :).  Anyway, when we finished, I wanted to make a trip to the bathroom before we left, so I got up, made two steps and I crunched my ankle.  I mean it really crunched.  I think my foot had partially fallen asleep, plus I had on some sandels that caught on the floor.  I could feel the crunch all the way to my ears.  I hobbled back to our table, and waited for a few minutes for the pain to subside.  We went to the mall, where it wasn't too bad, but unfortunately got worse, as I walked.  You'd of thought we would go home, so I could get off my feet, but I had pre-bought our movie tickets, and I wasn't about to waste the money.  We went over to the theatre, where Bill dropped me off so I wouldn't have to walk too far.  As we watched the movie, my ankle got worse, so I laid my leg over his lap.  Let me tell you, when the movie was over, I seriously could not put any weight on my right foot.  We drove over to the ER, and they XRayed  it (no break), and put a very fashionable foot brace on it, called a space sock (cool). I thought I would be crippled for life (a bit melodramatic, I know), since I couldn't find a position to lay my leg when I went to bed.  The good news is, I am in much less pain today, the doctor said it should take a couple of weeks before I can drop the crutches, and I have a student teacher. Now I'm very bored.  Bill went shopping, and I'm home watching Fox Business News.
Oh, I forgot. My copay at the ER was $200.00!  Yeah, there goes my budget. Most expensive "space sock" I've ever heard of.

Cute, huh?
