This morning, I accidentally tripped over a wooden stool in the living room, and sprained my right ankle. I actually stretched some ligaments on the underside of my foot (somehow hyper-extended the foot), but the Nurse Practitioner at Prime Care said it's a sprained ankle. She said the healing process will be as though it's broken.
*Crutches for at least a week.
*Ace wrap and post-op shoe for 6 weeks, or as long as pain persists.
*No softball practice tomorrow or Monday. May or may not play in game on Friday, depending on pain level and my ability to walk normally.
*Naproxen and Tylenol #3 to help with swelling and pain.
*Keep foot raised and ice it.
The break room at our shop is on the 2nd floor. My bedroom at home is on the 2nd floor.
This will be a very interesting week.
