I wish I could come up with a glamorous story, but in all honestly it was just a klutzy moment.
As I was running home from work today I stepped on a crack, rolled my right ankle, went down on my left knee and managed to roll off the path to my right.
The end result?
A bloody knee, a swollen/purple ankle and a bruised ego.
It shook me up so much, I actually cried.
Then proceeded to limp the 1.5k home. I didn’t have my cell phone, as I left it at the office to avoid having to carry it home.
After I took off my shoe when I got home, my ankle instantly doubled in size. I’m currently camping on the couch with my ankle elevated and an ice pack on it.
I’m slightly concerned about what the lack of exercise may do to me in the next couple of days while I recoup.
A couple of years ago, I endured a brutal IT band injury. I didn’t handle that well at all, so here’s hoping for a speedy recovery.

Oh Amy!
I'm so sorry, I know how much you love to exercise. Rest up and I hope you get better soon. Hope Andrew is taking good care of you.
ohh, super ouch! That looks so painful. I hope you feel better soon. ~ Steph
*hugs* Feel better soon, sweetie. I know it hurts but you'll be up and running again before you know it!!
OUCH!!!!! Glad you are "ok."
I hope you get better fast!!
Oh poor you! Take care of yourself and I hope you heal up really soon!
Oh no! I wish you a speedy recovery!! My Poppa Jim (one of the 3 smartest men I know) would tell you "it's a long way from your heart, so it will all be okay".
@Shrinking Jen: Your poppa is wise!
@Amy: OUCH! Hope you heal quickly!!!
Oh....OW! Find some arnica gel and start putting it on there asap..it helps SOOO much with soft tissue stuff and bruising and speeding up healing. Ow ow ow. Sorry that happened. :( And what a painful 1.5 k walk home that must have been. :(
Boo! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Ouch! So sorry to see that, especially knowing you're already concerned about being away from the gym when you take on this new job.
Sending 'feel better soon, fast healing thoughts', your way.
Ouchies! I hope that heals up fast. Sorry you've had a rough couple of days. I think your friend Lisa is really wise.
OUCH! Hope that heals up quickly. Definitely force yourself to do some rest. You don't want a long term injury. I've done things like that. You feel stupid for it, but you're so not alone.
Ouch! Looks terrible! Rest it well so it'll heal!
DUDE, I am so sorry. I would have cried too.
do NOT worry about crying. I rolled my ankle on a long run last summer and actually sat on the sidewalk and cried. two teenagers in baggy clothing actually backtracked to make sure i was ok.
get well soon, and well get together to get back on the horse, even if it's slowly. :)
Ouch! That looks like one painful moment, I hope you feel better quickly.
oh my gosh ouch!!! That sucks... take care of yourself and feel better.
*hugs* It will heal quickly. Take this time to relax.
Ouch! That looks painful :( Rest up and take care of yourself and it will be better soon!!
Oh My...that is way worse than what you tweeted..
Feel/Heal better quickly!
Wow, major wipe out...hope you are ok.
Oh well, you can still blog right :)
Ouch! Don't rush to get back to exercise. Take the advice you would give your best friend. It's not worth the risk.
Hope you recover quickly, Amy!
I gave you a "Creative Writer" blog award - it's a sort of fun and silly one, but interesting too!
I posted a link to your blog as well :)
Take it easy!
Ouch! That's no fun. Hope it heals quickly, but take it easy for a little! Take care :)
Hope its nothing serious and your ok. Take care.
Oh man, that looks awful! I hope the swelling and pain subside soon.
Ouch! Get better air kisses to you!
Ouch. My ankle hurts just looking at yours. Hope it is healing quickly for you.
