I’ve been doing grandly in my ankle brace. I took the kids on all sorts of adventures over the long weekend. It hurt, but I just ignored it.
Then Tuesday when I went to PT, my ankle was so swollen it was barely recognizable. I had a cankle for sure. I explained I’d had a busy weekend and we took it easy at PT, and iced and elevated it.
Well yesterday it was still swollen but not hurting that bad, so I got up suuuuper early and cleaned. I did dishes and laundry, picking up and putting away, sorting and organizing, wiping down, dusting off, and scrubbing. I conquered the entire first floor of the house.
Then I proceeded to have a busy day with a medical appointment I had to do a fair bit of walking to get to because parking sucked. It was a pre-op appointment for my ear tubes. (Hooray! That’s finally going to happen!)
But come evening I felt like my ankle brace was squeezing too tightly so I took it off and examined the damage.
Alas. I have truly overdone it. I have no patience for this down and out stuff. None. I want to be my usual energetic self, getting things done and giving the kids a good time! ADHD is striking HARD.
Today I’m back in my trusty boot. I can barely hobble. I had to make Seth take Sprout to a doctor appointment for her first covid shot this morning because the walking would be too much for me.
It doesn’t help that Sprout is a boredy-pants when we are stuck at home. She wants to run! Bike! Climb! Swim! The kid sits still as well as I do and sitting around the house makes us both cranky. The only way to make her content-ish is to sit and watch movies with her that are either terrible, or which I’ve seen dozens of times before.
She’s currently into movies about witches. We did the Wizard of Oz and Hocus Pocus, but I’m out of ideas with just those two. Best kids movies out there that feature a witch? Let me know your suggestions! My foot begs you to come up with some. 🙂
