It's all fun and games till someone gets hurt...

Yea. So me and a bunch of other people were having a snowball fight earlier tonight before going to a diner... well as I'm running after someone to peg the bastard, I encountered a spot where the sidewalk was a bit higher than the dirt next to it... my right (go fast pedal foot!!!) ankle twisted hard, heard a crack (that was prolly nothing since my ankles constantly crack.. although that may be a whole nother problem in itself), and felt a little pain.


The pain wasnt bad, I assumed I just twisted it hard, so stood to the side. It hurt a little to walk on it over to the cars to go to the diner but I gimped my way along... after we were leaving the diner tho it got real bad, couldnt really even put weight on the foot... looked down to see it was swellign up bigtime (as in my ankle was swollen to the point where it filled the whole top of my shoe), and decided ohh boy, gotta get this checked out.


Went to the ER... got X-rays and all that. Nothing broke thankfully (according to the "preliminary" x-ray reading), but its sprained real bad. Got a nifty little air splint, some crutches (first time in my life... a little awkward lol) and a prescription for some Naprosyn... had an ice pack on it and the swelling went down a tad but the little bone sticking out on the outside of my ankle is swollen up bigtime. They told me to call tomorrow cuz thats when the x-rays will officially be ready (if they see anything then that they didn't see tonight they're gonna give me a call), and told me to either call thier orthopedist on call or my own (i think my mom has one) for a follow up/check up type thing. Soooooo yea. Still sorta hurts... not much right now since theres no weight on it.


Now to figure out hwo the hell to get aroudn campus... and looks like driving is out of the question for now... which includes gettign to work... which SUCKS because I have $1 in my wallet and $13 or so on my debit card :/


Who woulda thought snowball fights could suck so hard?

yea.. I've gone 19 years without breakign anything (stil havent *knows on wood*) and this si the first time in my life I've sprained something soo... its a little wierd. lol

Use one of your crutches to work the gas pedal with your shoulder wall guiding it with your messed-up foot.:D Seriously it could work.

I’ve never sprained my ankle that bad, but I have fracture my right wrist twice (I’m right handed) and it did suck-ass.

those must be some short crutches LOL... jp anyway dude sorry to hear that happened... i just got off crutches last week from a sprained ankle... ironic...

not a first for me, i've sprained my left ankle 3 times and my right 5 times...

What a jip. The ED doc did not even give you Percocet? If he did not tell you, you should keep it elevated above your heart also. Help to keep the swelling down as well.

i've had sprained ankels and wrists but thats all from hockey but i just played thru it...you gotta win :P

those little elf ankles are fragile, you lucky you didnt break it man, now go make me some cookies!!

I'm still recoving from my bad sprain. And it happend in June, so you know how bad it was without me explaining.

Day 1 update

the pain isnt bad now... only if i put too much weight on it.

The splint is good, keeping it straight and also since it goes a little below my feet I can put a little bit of weight on that side, with the splint holding it up.


Crutches tho..... fucking SUCK!!!! pain in the ass awkward fuckin POS's

Can you drive? If you were ballsy you can drive with your left foot, I have before, its kinda hard.

did the Doctor give you a lollipop and a sticker?

did the Doctor give you a lollipop and a sticker?
well he didnt get to suck a lollipop but he got to suck something else, how else do you think he payed the bill

And he's the perfect hieght.

Wow, thats uncalled for guys :nono:


















































But thats what makes it so funny :naughty:

as for driving, just use your other foot jackass.

I've refrained from posting in this thread but I cant hold out any longer....... HA HA

What I've learned today: crutches friggin SUCK. my armpits are killing me, and its so clumsy and inconvinient...



So while in the city tonight / after taking the painkillers for the first time, I figured out that while it's slower, it's less painful and easier to use the crutches like a cane. So i had my friend who was driving stop by home, and picked up a cane we had lying around... so now I'm pimpin' the old grandpa wooden cane :D

You cant pimp something that's taller than you dude.. well you can but it doesnt look right.

i had the same problem with crutches, what you do is you don't put them in your arm pits,put them right befor them where that muscel part isand you kinda tighten up the muscels there and it is alot less pain full.went from car's to throwing snow balls, now it is Dr.Drew,lol

Wow, thats uncalled for guys :nono:


















































But thats what makes it so funny :naughty:

ah yes it is quite funny and he is the perfect height

You cant pimp something that's taller than you dude.. well you can but it doesnt look right.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your not using them right. Your supposed to adjust the grips so your hands support your weight. The part that goes under your armpit is just there to make it ease to keep them stable. A lot of people make this mistake when they first start using crutches.

Gonna try to get the paperwork for a temp handicapped pass signed by the doctor tomorrow :D

in before: "you mean you don't already have one for being a midget."

no im too tall for it

Going tomorrow to get the placard, hopefully,... have the doctor signed forms and all :D
