While playing netball the other night, I ambitiously leapt for the ball.. caught it.. and then proceeded to land this jump on my ankle. A sickening POP was heard throughout the court, I screamed, and clutched my leg. Needless to say I lost possession of the ball.
So now I am crutchin' about with my ankle in a brace, and it sucks. At first I was excited to have a sports related injury, but now I am stuck in an upstairs apartment, and I'm hungry. My hands and elbows are bruised from the crutches, and getting dressed is a mission.. I still have not showered since the event as I do not know how to tackle the situation. (I know, I'm disgusting.)
And then there's the PAIN!
Praying that it will heal up soon and I won't need to pay for xrays or physio! Hopefully it's a sprain and not a torn or snapped ligament... urgh.
Now for the gross pics...

| This was about an hour after it happened.. not looking TOO bad |
 |
| Just before going to bed on Monday night. My legs are usually skinny as. That is the leg (cankle?) of a fat beast. |
 |
| Last night (Tuesday) after wearing a brace all day. Check out that bruising! |
This morning, the swelling appears down and the bruising worse. Still gonna rest it up for a while though. Wish me luck!
