so there I was walking back from a visit to a friend down the highway, walking because the doc said to excercise, took a short cut which involved going down into and then up to cross a ravine on the way home...
the rains washed away all the old trails I remembered that led down, and the wood planks I had placed there years ago were gone..I walked up and down, found the most likely spot to head down, and pretty much twised my ankle (left outer) right before I did a superman to the bottom.. belly flopped onto a big bunch of branches and bushes.. knew I had torn ligaments, (felt 'em go) knew I'd better get up and out while I could still walk.
strange, right in the middle of life and civilisation I suddenly found myself in a potentially lethal situation, out of sight and sound of everyone..
found the up and out path -- luckily I left my car at the bottom of the hill my house is on..drove up the hill, looked up sprains on the internet, while i was reading about torn ligaments I started sweating and felt I would faint, had no idea why, felt panicky..breathed deeply, it passed..called dr.. going tomorrow..he felt the sweat was anxiety related and not concerned..
I'm icing and elevating and all that good stuff, and now the ankle is bound up in strips of bedsheet.
so I'll be bored and on pain killers for a couple days, and not able to go far from the computer..just wanted to warn ya all.
..so as Judy Tenuta would say "...so start dancin' ! " ow. ow.
