So, I fell down my basement stairs today and rolled my ankle. ER ran the X-ray and CT scan to see what they could see, and said there were no broken bones, but couldn’t rule out a hairline fracture due to there being too much swelling. Obviously, this isn’t my first time with an ankle injury, but it is the most inconvenient, as my son’s college move-in date is in 4 days. My question is how many times you have had an ankle injury and how it affects your next few weeks during the healing process?
Ouch! I had an ankle injury years ago and I was out of work for two weeks. Rest is your best friend. Even if you wanted to get up and walk, it’s very difficult to be up for longer than about 10 minutes at first. I would rally the troops to see if they can assist with your son’s move in.
Hope you have been healing up quickly and happy semester to your son!
Thank you for your response and yes, I had help and now have seen the ankle specialist, who wants me in a CAM boot until we get MRI results.
I’ve had 5 ankle surgeries on my right ankle, so I’m no stranger to all the hoops and things I am facing, just praying its not another surgery . LOL
My son is doing great with his first semester so far and really enjoying the experience.
