So as most of you all know I hurt my ankle. I was just going down the stairs in the garage on my way to fetch my Mom to go to the Temple and as I put down my foot on the floor it just rolled and then I turned the other foot at the same time and completely fell on the Garage floor. Thankfully I had my phone in my purse and was able to call my Mom and have her come over and help me. I was afraid to move (I was a little hysterical because it hurt a lot.) Jeph was in the shower and wouldn't answer the phone and Derek was out of town. Mom came quickly and Julia was with her and they fetched Jeph out of the shower and He ran over and got a neighbor to come help me into the car so they could take me to the Hospital.
Well, I didn't break my ankle, but I did have a fracture, which happens when the tendons and ligaments pull a piece of the ankle bone away. Thank goodness I didn't need to have surgery to put it back, because it was still in place. They fitted me with a boot and sent me on my way.
It was pretty ugly bruising and it took awhile for me to be able to put some weight on it, but it took a couple of weeks for me to feel like going out and still some more time to get the boot off.
I am still healing, even after 2 months it is still really stiff, but I am walking on it alright, but I am really careful how I walk on it.
I am doing excercises to strengthen the ankle and I am hoping things will get better. I am sure they will, but I also know it will probably take a while for it to be back to normal. Oh well. I had a lot of things on my plate when it happened and I had to just let it slide and let others take care of things. That was hard.

Wow!! That looks like it hurt. (By the way, Kaitlyn's toe didn't have a cut on it. It was blood blister. Thank goodness. I wouldn't have wanted to deal with infection.)
