Though i can move my foot a bit, hobble back and forward with no pain... can put a little pressure on my left foot. And generally... its not so bad, i can fix for myself which is good. I mean if i want food or water or need the bathroom, i can hobble around and do that ;)
Otherwise, my foot is starting to bruise now, and is still double the size... but this is all normal and typical of a sprained ankle.
Yesterday and today ive spent the day doing lots of the Symptom checker and reading about what to do, how long it should take to recover... and the CONSEQUENCES. Hhahah.. i.e in some cases surgery/cast for 4-5 weeks/ if the ligament is torn and you dont get immediate help it can be damaged forever... yeah, all those scary stories.
But the thing is, my foot doesnt hurt... its just swollen and bruising. And of course i cant walk like a normal person - its only been a little more than 24 hours since it happened, but otherwise its not so bad. But i guess im just thinking of the worst.
however i spoke to my mum on the phone and she told me that i should be fine, that if i cant put pressure on it, move my foot and it doesnt feel numb or cold. Then its just to try to rest it as much as possible but movement around the house isnt so bad... So that calmed my mind.
And she said that if i let it rest this week, then maybe next week i can begin with walks again and i might actually be able to run the race in the next 4 weeks... So i really hope so!!
Also i want to thank ALL OF YOU for the kind messages you have left me, that means SO MUCH TO ME! It warms my heart all the comments and emails i have gotten. You are AWESOME!!

^¨This is for you :) :)
Otherwise... ive been in the sun and continued to get a tan, and also my friend spontaneously dropped by... or she had messaged me but my mobile isnt charging... its almost a sign that its telling me to not check social media! hahaha, That might be a good idea.
However i wasnt feeling super social, but that was ok. We have this awesome friendship where we completely understand each other... we've seen each other at our worst. (we met at Mando, when we were both severly sick and underweight), and shes even been the one to hold my hair back when im too drunk too stand and lying on the bathroom floor. The one ive always been able to tell her how i feel and know she wont judge, just like she knows the same with me.
So we both sat with our computers, and it wasnt a weird silence.. it was just a doing our own thing in company which is something i LOVE. Its like with siblings... you can both sit in the sofa and do your own thing on the computer and have random bits of conversation. And its not weird, you dont have to fill the silence with coversation.
So she stayed for a while until i felt i was drowning from the heat and had to take a cold shower.
Since then ive eaten lots as my apetite is back!! Quark, questbars, egg sandwichs and oatmeal!! Yup, oatmeal and egg sandwiches for dinner because Nobody has time to cook a proper meal &
I will continue answering emails when i can :) :)




Heeeyy...I was thinking maybe since you have to be resting your foot it might be a good time to change up your blog a bit like you mentioned a while ago. (the domain name and such). I don't mind it however, its just a suggestion to give you something to do :) it looks like you still managed a workout today? At least you can still workout your arms and back :))) Wishing you a successful and speedy recovery. And dont worry about all those scary stories. Sometimes the internet just makes things 100x worse than they are... LOL
ReplyDeleteHaha yeah i just need to get proper advice about that first... but i might do some research and figure out myself as well ;) Just dont want to do it wrong!
DeleteNope, no workout... workout clothes are just so comfy!!! Yeah, i can always workout upperbody, but i just dont have motivation for that at home anyway... but my mum said that most probably in a few days ill be able to go to the gym again... though no cardio or leg workouts for a whiel... but more focus on upperbody then ;)
Yeah i feel a bit like that... ive now spent 30 minutes trying to fgiure out whether my ankle is fractured or sprained... as fractures requires more medical care... so i might have to go to hospital tomorrow, just in case.... -_-
I had a fractured ankle. 7 weeks in a cast... :( good luck.
