so much for being mobile again.
after lots of yardwork this morning, i was hungry, and decided to go to cookout for a burger. i need to learn to stop doing that.
i stopped off at a mailbox on my way, and on the way back to the car, i stepped into a hole disguised by leaves, twisted my ankle, and fell.
i seem to have severely fucked up my ankle. it's quite difficult to walk, and the swelling is... dramatic. my ankle looks like a baseball now.
i don't think i can drive.
i am so fucking tired of being sick, injured, and stranded at home. i have never had a year like this before. living alone fucking sucks in these kinds of situations.
i've never done anything like this to my ankle before. i'm not sure what i should do. getting to my doctor is going to be problematic so i'm not sure if it's worth it, although if it's broken then obviously i should go and it's not going to just be one doctor visit, but also a referral to an orthopedic place.
this just so fucking sucks. advice and offers of assistance appreciated.

yikes, i've sprained and broken my ankle a few times and it's definitely bad news--do nooooot walk on it if you can help it--and get to a dr/the er asap to make sure it's not broken. ankle injuries are really, really bad.
i would be happy to run errands for you, take you places, etc, just i can't tongiht b/c i have a paper due tomorrow and i'm nowhere near done.
anyway, email me if you need anything or if you want to describe your injuries in greater detail. i'll be at my computer all night, looks like.

do you need a ride to the doctor? I have a lunch meeting but I can reschedule.

I'd drive you around if I were closer. It sounds like the kind of thing you should get checked out....

Oh man bummer. I'm sorry I don't live in your neighborhood anymore, else I'd offer to come by and do stuff for you. Get well soon.

i can take you to a doctor in the morning, if that's the way you decide to go. mimo's got a vet appointment at 9, but i can help you after that. seriously.
