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

[Savage Messiah]

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?

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

[drvngstorm05]

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. Here is a link to what Naproxen is, its for pusses...http://www.healthsquare.com/newrx/NAP1283.HTM. Like I said they could at least give you a narc so you can get high...lol jk or am I
