Chris Brewer's Journal: My ankle hurts....

So I did something stupid, like walk across the road. Somehow I managed to roll my left foot over and stepped using that knobby thing on the outside. A nice horrible feeling as the ligament tore and I had to hop the rest of the way over before the lights changed.

Needless to say, I missed lunch that day.

Went to the doctor immediately after, more to get strapped up than anything, where he diagnosed the torn ligament and sent me to X-Ray to make sure there wasn't a fracture (there wasn't).

So now I'm going to physio every few days and I've stopped using the walking stick. My ankle is a bit sore today, but luckily I'm not allergic to Panadol or Nurofen.

Now I haven't had as many injuries in my life as some people, I've only broken one bone (my nose when I was three, so I can't remember it), so I'm not belittling injuries other people have had, but for me, this was right up there on the aw jeez fark scale. Probably equal, if not a bit more than the knee sprain I had 10 years ago.

I wish it would stop hurting...
