Sprained ankle- Now with Pics
« on: November 18, 2007, 09:29:37 AM » |

Slipped while coming down a ladder yesterday, landed funny, hurt my left ankle. Today, it is swollen, all sorts of pretty colors, and according to the ER nurse of the house has obvious ligament damage. My big toe is also purple and about half again as big as normal. I guess my plans for today have been modified to include immobilization, elevation, ibuprofen, and ice.  |

Ouch. Ditto on the Black Butte. Is it your starter leg (or do you have electric start?). |

Electric start, but it is my shifting leg, and I don't currently have enough upward motion to comfortably shift with my toe. I have a heel shifter, so that would be the obvious solution except that I don't think I can support enough weight on it to get the bike off the kick stand or support it at a stoplight. |

If I can get you to say it was all due to hanging lights I might be able to talk my wife out of them.
Probably not, but maybe.
Get well soon.

Dear Mrs. Beatha-
Please view above the damage that can be caused by uncoordinated people on ladders. Having seen your husband's golf swing, I suggest you might want to reevaluate placing him in such a precarious position as it might just do more harm than good. I'd advise any Christmas lights that you desire be placed at ground level. Please consider it. Thanks in advance.
