Today we all got up early and packed ourselves lunches and headed off to the beach. We got there and went straight to the change-rooms to put our cossies on and I returned to the beach and realised that I had left my sunglasses in the change-room, so I headed on back to the change-room.
When I was on my way back from the change-room I misjudged the last step because it is much higher than the others and fell and heard a very uncomfortable sounding crunch in my foot. People rushed over to help as well, I am usually fine until someone asks if I'm okay and then I'm a goner!
Anyway, I went and sat down for a while while everyone had a swim and iced my ankle hoping that it was sore from the shock and that it would pass but once my toes went numb we realised that I had to go to the hospital. Not only did I have to be put in a beach buggy by the lifeguards but I also had no pants on when I got to the hospital because I managed to put my shirt on but didn't have the forethought to put my shorts back on!
The doctor was pretty sure it was only a sprain, after an x-ray we discovered that I had actually cracked the bone of my ankle joint nearly all the way through.
My new friends for the next 4-6 weeks include an air boot and crutches.. And no swimming, good timing! Its the bloody middle of Summer and I am stuck in a gross, sweaty air boot!
Top : City Chic
Shorts : Jeanswest
Air Boot : Attractive!
I am not allowed to weight bear until after my first appointment at the fracture clinic in a week or so, hopefully they'll let me get rid of the crutches after that - I cannot handle crutches without exposing myself to more potential injuries!
I hope your day was less injury prone then mine!
Happy Blogging my Lovelies xo
