Sprained ankle

I realized last night when tweeting about my ankle hurting that I completely left that part out of my blogs...

So here you go- how I injured myself...

Yesterday afternoon at the Cert, we were practicing kipping pull-ups (and yes, I could do them quite well at this time but not during Fran... nooooo, that would have been too convenient... sorry, I'm still bitter and mad at myself...)

Back to practicing the kipping pull-ups. I jumped down from the bar and landed w/ my right foot half on a box that was sitting next to the bars and half off. At the time, I thought it really hurt. I even sat down for a second to take my weight off of it, but honestly, I thought I just twisted my ankle, which we've all done a million times right?

The pain sort of subsided and I even did one of the WODs afterwards which involved kettlebell swings and sprints! No ankle issues. I went the whole afternoon without any problems.

It wasn't until after dinner when I finally took my shoes off and holy hell... obviously the shoe was acting as a compressor because my foot swelled quickly once it came off. I have a huge lump in two different places- on the right side of my ankle (outer) near that bone that sticks out and also right on top of my foot. And umm...yeah...they're both a little blue-ish in color too.

I iced it before going to bed and didn't think much of it.

At 3 AM I woke up because it hurt SO BAD! I tried elevating it, icing it again, etc. I even took some Tylenol and tried to wait it out but the pain was so bad that I was punching the bed. There was nothing I could do but sit there in agony. It sucked!

Finally, the Tylenol kicked in and I was able to fall back asleep around 4 AM.

I iced again this morning and have been taking Tylenol but it was not fun driving home w/ my right ankle in pain. Michael says it's a standard sprain so all I can do is rest, ice, elevate, etc.

So I'm Gimpy-McGimperson right now b/c it's not fun to walk on.

I will probably take the rest of the week off, or until it feels better if that's sooner.
