My Accident with my ANKLE...

Oh gotta tell you ladies what I did last night. I picked up a day shift yesterday at work, got through it. Ran errands in betweeen my night shift. Got back to work, was working in my evening station in the lower bar area. Well we all know I am clumsy sometimes or prone to getting bruises and such.
(long story, sorry)
Well I had just taken an order from some guest and went to take the hostess the menu's. Stepped up the two steps to put them down, turned around and went to step down the step, and my heel caught the top part of the step. My ankle twisted adn turned outwards, popped and I went down on my tuckus. The pain shot up my ankle and leg. It brought me to tears immediately. My guests jumped up to help me up and ask if I was alright. I was like yes, I am alright. Manager made me sit for a few minutes. I asked him to go get me a ace bandage, taht I had my knee brace in my bag, but not a ace bandage, he gladly went and got one. We were sorely understaffed last night. I managed to get through 4 hours of working with it wrapped and very carefully not moving it to the lef tor right, if I did, it shoot a pain up my leg like fire.

I filled out work incident report and came home to have youngest daughter take me to emergency room. I was going to drive, but she wouldn't let me, lol. They took xrays and all that, spent 3 hours there. It wasn't broken, but badly sprained. I tore or pulled alot of tendons around the ankle. My ankle looks like a golf ball on the outer side, lol. They put a very comfortable new type of brace on my foot, it has gel type stuff like the eye patches you use on your eyes. Its on the sides of the ankle brace or foot brace. Then it velcros around leg. Its comfortable and keeps me from moving it sideways.
I got four days off work, to R.E.S.T it. I can't go back til Saturday. Thankfully I only miss Thursday shift. Still sucks. I lost like $50 last night, not being able to close and $100 tomorrow for not being able to work. UGH. They gave me some nice pain killers though and for the inflammation as well. They said it would take like 6 weeks to fully heal.
Funny thing is, I spent 6 hours running errands today, prescriptions, food, other stuff. Now I am pooped and taking a nap for a minute.

ugh its COLD!!!!

Okay the nice Indian Summer we were having, got up and left the building. GEEZ its cold these last few days.Brrrrr. I got to go hunt up my sweaters and whatnot. Short sleeves don't cut it outside.

Finishing up my Halloween swap and a few others I joined. I am trying to get my November and Decembers done here shortly, so I won't have to worry about none til January. Means I gotta go shopping for my pal soon. Gotta go check out her wishlist and see what I find here locally in the stores, or if I need to order from somewhere.

I am off tomorrow and got plenty of errands to run. Starting early tomorrow to get stuff down. I gotta call bulk pick up too about that darn couch on the side of the house, UGH. Looks so ghetto, I hate that. Wish the cars were fixed, that is driving me nutz, haha. Or not, since I am unable to drive except for the work truck. LOL.

Cya in a few days and I will post what all happened this weekend, Maybe.
