DeeAnn, oh good heavens, can you go to an Urgent Care office since you prefer not to go to the ER? The quicker you have someone look at your ankle the better.

I read your profile, will this injury make it difficult to care for your Mom? On the other hand, injuries can be a wake up call for whomever we are caring for, that we are human, too.

DeeAnn - RICE! Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation!

Trust me, you *need* to do this. I took a bad fall about 8 years ago and sprained my ankle very badly - doc said I would have been better off to have broken it, because it was bad enough to give me trouble for the rest of my life....he's right...it does. I was getting ready to go on a trip when it happened and couldn't stop to do the RICE treatment. I drove for 11 hours with my foot on the floor of the car - boy did I pay for that. Do yourself a favor and take care of that right away.

Oh, no. Ouch! I'm hurting for your here. Hope it is just a sprain. Take care of yourself and get some help in if you need it. It sounds like a great time to pamper yourself.
