Out 10 days with an Ankle

Trips to the E.R. continued to be the theme for the residents on Sackville.

I had a fantastic day on Thursday. It was the start of a 4 day week-end. Rushing out the door to go to the movies with my wife and son I missed a step on the back stairs and rolled my ankle.

Terrible, terrible pain. I screamed and moaned and felt like passing out.

There's no way of describing it as a sport related injury. It was just plain bad luck.

I didn't go to the E.R. immediately. After an evening and night of icing and elevation things just weren't any better.

After 6 hours of clinic and E.R. waiting I was told it was just a sprain. 2 Doctors had a look and x-rays were taken.

It was a long day. I should be better in 10 days but not soon enough to play in my curling club playoffs. I have missed a lot of curling this year due to work so it's a major drag I have to miss playoffs because of a stair mishap.

But I'm shaking it off and moving onto the next moment and will enjoy the rest of the week-end.

Hope you have a good week-end too.

Happy Easter
