| |  Twisted Ankle
Yesterday, I had a Big Fleet wash that I do every Thursday.
My helper and I were about half way through with the job, when I twisted my ankle. We were drying off that big International. I was on the top step, but thinking I was on the bottom step, when I decided to step down...... Wrong move...
I ended up twisting my ankle. I sat down for about 30 minutes while my helper finished up. Since we had a long day ahead of up, I decided to keep on working. My ankle was sore, but I had work to do. When I get home, the Wife wants to go to the store. We get there and walk around for about an hour and a half. My ankle was still sore, but not as sore as earlier. But this morning.....I am paying for it! Swollen up and can barely walk on it.
Now I am out a few jobs today.....
bummer....... It happens

| | | That sucks! I'm sorry to hear.
make sure you KEEP icing it and take some anti-inflammatory OTC. When I ruptured my ACL I had a mean limp all night, but when I woke up the next morning I couldn't even walk. My knee was damn near the size of a football. I snapped it right in half. |

| | be sure to keep it elevated and iced. it allows the swelling to move down the leg not sit in one spot... I asked my woman, (athletic trainer)  haah
good luck buddy!

| | | Oh man, sorry to hear that. Hope it doesn't keep you down too long. Sick feeling when you don't feel the ground as soon as you think. |

| | | Personally I think I twisted/sprained ankle is more painful then breaking a bone (which I've broken plenty of lol). Even a sprained wrist, majorily sucks.

| | Grab a Miller bottle from the fridge (save the Heineken for drinking  ) and roll the bottle under your bad foot. I play soccer and twisted ankles happen pertty often, although less painfull and severe than yours I imagine... either way, roll the bottle for 5-10 mins at a time, then ice and elevate your foot... this has put me back on the field in a day or 2 every time... hope it feels better soon... oh and don't under any circumstances forget to drink the Heineken, it's a very valuable part of the healing process
