Ugh

If I didn't have bad luck, I really don't think I would have any luck at all.

On top of the wonderful thyroid results of last week...I managed to dislocate my ankle on Friday night. Do you have ANY idea how freaking painful that is?!?!?!?!

Granted I am a supreme klutz, but this injury takes the cake. Being the good friend I am...I went to pick up a drunk friend on Friday night. Got him home, was walking back out to my car, fell down his stairs landed in the driveway. Seriously! I go to help someone and I get injured in the process. Are you kidding me?!?! One drive to the hospital later (mind you with my left foot, cause I hurt the right), I find out no broken bones, just a dislocated ankle. Yeah didn't even know that was possible. I'm pretty sure the doctor learned a new stream of curses when they reset my ankle...at least that's what he told me...I don't recall much of it...good pain meds.

Started physical therapy today to regain the use of walking...because crutches and I just do not get along. It is a love/hate relationship...more towards hate. I can put weight on the toes of my feet but try and get my foot flat...shooting pain. I got it massaged and deep heat from an ultrasound, however my FAVORITE part...they hooked little electrodes up to my ankle. Weird sensation, but fantastic affect. Swelling has gone down a little and doesn't hurt as bad. Granted I did just pop a pain pill. lol.

I will be doing therapy 3 times a week for the next month...here's hoping by this weekend I can at least limp without the dreaded crutches.
