So we went to the Boat Basin tonight to have dinner, and I
a) Tripped on the walk there, because I am graceful like that, and seem to have seriously sprained and/or otherwise injured my foot. It has swollen to the size of my head and also
b) Missed seeing the love of my life Taylor Momsen, who was at the same restaurant as us, and all my friends saw her when they were up at the bar, where I wasn’t because I couldn’t walk.
So now I am sitting in a pull-out bed with frozen peas on my foot, stealing pain killers from Tiffany, and going to bed and hopefully being ambular in the morning.
Oh, and Tony Hawk’s wife had a girl.
No word yet on the Angelina babies.
Ouch! Sorry to hear about your injury.
This happened to me two weeks ago.
Get some Arnica gel or cream and rub that into the injured area. This helps with swelling and helps minimize bruising. Also get some Arnica remedy–homeopathic white, little pills that you dissolve in your mouth (Boiron is the brand we use). Take ibuprofen for pain and swelling.
Hope you’re feeling better soon.
I am notorious for sprained ankles. Drunk or sober, you can bet I will have one at least once a year. I sprained my ankle actually about a week ago outside of a Target as my pregnant ass somehow missed the curb. Good times.
I am forever in heels and defending my ability to walk in them but two weeks ago, I was wearing flats and in a brutal texting-while-walking accident, I twisted my ankle. I assumed I didn’t sprain it as I could still walk but man oh man did it get swollen. For reasons I won’t get into, I was volunteering (not community service) at something and had to be on my feet the entire time. After an hour, I checked and my ankle was swollen to a degree where I feared for my shoe removal.
So I tried to be good and split my time between heels and flats and it’s been 10 days and I still have a swollen ankle. I am a black belt in taekwon-do so I have strong ankles but fuck, it’s still swollen. So maybe I should get my ass to the doctor for some x-rays.
But fuck all the haters who tell me I put vanity before health. I twisted my ankle in flats, bitches, not heels. Oh sorry, those haters aren’t here and my husband just came in the computer room to ask me to calm down.
Happy Canada Day!!!! And good luck with your ankle. And I love Taylor Momsen too. Her hair is always so pretty.
That’s gotta suck on so many levels, being in a city where you have to do so much walking. How’s the quitting smoking thing going? You haven’t said anything about it lately.
So sorry, I did that, and if you rolled over on your foot as I did – you could have broken the little tiny tarsals or what ever the hell those bones are. If it’s not better in the am get to the ER, reason why? Your foot will swell and when they do put a cast on it – you may end up with 3 casts because as the swelling goes down you have to be recasted. That was an extra 600 bucks my friend!
Hope it’s well in the morning and your expensive vacay was not ruined like mine was.
ok….beet…i think your friends, who know of your obsession with that little girl taylor, just told you they saw taylor momsen there just to get you! don’t believe them!!!!!
p.s. hope your foot feels better soon
