- Wake up, shower, curl hair and go to work
- Put on eyeliner in the bathroom at work because curling hair is a time eater
- Make lots of photocopies
- Unbox new furniture arrivals
- Walk out the front door of work and fall, twist my ankle, knock over the urn by the door, spill all of the soil out of it - tell co-workers that I am fine
- Go to meet with advisor at University of Richmond - walking on my ankle
- Grab lunch at Subway - still walking on my ankle
- Back to work checking on client's orders
- Ankle hurting
- Ankle throbbing
- Ankle hurting AND throbbing, kind of want to cry
- Tell boss it may be time to go to the doctor, but wait, it's my right ankle and since it won't move, I can't drive. At all.
- Husband is working so mom has to pick me up from work, can't even walk on foot at this point
- Chauffered by mom to Patient First where she tries to bring me in by wheelchair (which I will have no part of)
- Asked by the wacko receptionist "what seems to be the problem?" right after watching me totally wobble in and up to her desk
- X-rayed because doctor thinks my foot is broken
- Doctor confirms it's just a severe sprain, fortunately not a break but still in severe pain
- Leave with crutches and a Michael Jacksonesque pain killer narcotic medicine (something I can't even pronounce)
- Shamefully embarassed by the crutch hobbling
- Shamefully embarassed that tomorrow I will be crutch hobbling at work. I may have enjoyed this attention when I was 8. Now, not so much.
Lesson learned - Don't ever think or say anything bad about anybody because karma will knock you right down the front doorstoop.

Oh gosh! I'm glad you are ok! I hope it feels better tomorrow!
Aww! I'm so sorry that you had such a rough day.
Oh no! Are yo sure Anabelle didn't sneak into your work and push you out the door? ;)
Praying that your ankle heals super fast! That must be such a pain to deal with :( I'll call you later to check on you :)
Oh no! Must have been an even worse thought than you had coming up our steps the other night, haha! Hope you're off the crutches by Sat. or maybe it will help with the sympathy vote!
OUCH! Tough cookie though walking on it all day! Watch out with those "Jackson" drugs - HA! Hope you feel better!!
Sometimes sprains can be worse than a break - take care to see that you heal thoroughly. Might want to see a physical therapist to aid in that. :o)
Your blog is lovely.

OH NO! I'm so sorry!! Hope it heals fast and that you aren't in too much pain!! Get well sweet girl!!
You poor thing! I hope that your foot heals quickly. Not to be a downer but a lot of times doctors will tell you a break is better than a severe sprain.....
That is awful! Hope you are feeing better soon!
Yikes! Feel better soon!
