Oops, I did it again...

Back in April, I wrote about a crap week. This one is not much better. I hurt my leg pretty bad on Saturday. Last time, it was the left leg and now it's the right. I'm all about equality, ya know...at least this time, I have a better story besides "I was just walking".

I had gone into the kitchen to make Ethan's milk and I closed the baby gate behind me. When I was ready for him, I went to pull Ethan up over the baby gate and as I leaned over to pick him up, my knee hit the baby gate and it went flying over as I was mid-pickup of the boy. In order to keep from falling and Ethan getting hurt, I landed funky on my right leg and it snapped...AND rolled. That's the only way I can describe it. Snap and roll.

Pretty much after that, I was screaming in pain and I even began to cry because it hurt so bad! At first, Ethan was startled by it all, but I put him on my lap to make sure he was ok and then he thought it was funny that Mommy was crying in pain. Niiiiiiiiice.

Scott was not home, but he was close...thank God! He has been awesome in wrapping my leg, getting me ice, bringing me meds and food, and taking care of Ethan. I would be in a lot of trouble right now if I were a single parent!

The last time this happened, I could at least walk on it the next day with a slight limp. That's not happening this time. I am still swollen down to my ankles and I cannot bear any weight on it. I can bear a little bit of weight in the very tip of my toes, but it is very short lived. I can't do anything! I had to have a friend come over to put Ethan in the car to take him to school! Come to think of it, how am I going to get him into the house today AFTER school??? Oh, heck.

So, to answer the obvious questions:

Am I going to the doctor? No. I already have the crutches and the boot. There isn't anything else that the doctor can do at this point. However, if I still can't walk on it by the end of the week, I will make an appointment.

Am I working out? HAHAHA...funny.
