lydamorehouse Yesterday I managed to sprain... my instep? the arch of my foot?... doing nothing more than bending down, while gardening. I'm doing R.I.C.E.(Rest. Ice. Compress. Elevate.) It hurt like CRAZY yesterday, but after a good night's sleep and a bunch of ibuprofen, I can put a decent amount of pressure on it now without feeling like I want to scream.
I have no idea what I did. Twist wrong? Step down funny? Stretch?
It makes me feel old. But, I'm going to keep resting it, and if I can feel the same amount better that I did between yesterday and today, I should be back to new (or old, as the case may be) in no time.
This is what I get for attempting to sweep and clear out the front gardens a little. Lesson, children? Don't do any more housework than absolutely necessary. You could hurt yourself.
