Oof! I see you're icing, but has it been X-rayed?

Yup, shortly after this waiting room selfie.

The radiologist gave quite the exclamation in reviewing the images. My heart dropped, and then i realized it was the image that was terrible, not my ankle. We took another.

NO! But when i first saw how swollen it was i was sure i was in for metal pins and surgery and all sorts of drama. I am so glad i am just icing away.

oh my goodness, ouch! have you been to a doctor?

Yup, i went straight away. I've fallen plenty, but this time i thought i'd really done something terrible. Just a bad sprain.
