Note to self: Don't Fall on Your Injured Foot

So last night I was getting ready for a wedding reception. I had gotten dressed and pretty much all ready, I just had to run back and grab something from my room and then we were gonna all be ready to go.

First, let me say who "we" was. Kayla had come over and Gabriel and Chase had come up for this wedding reception of some good friends. We were gonna go show our support and just have a good time. So Kayla and Chase were sitting on the couch talking.

Anyways, I was on my crutches on my way back to my room when I slipped. I was trying to hurry and think I was going to fast, but my good/left foot went down and slipped and I started to go down. However, my bad/right jumped right out and caught me. HOLY WOW!!! Talk about painful! I screamed and Chase and Kayla asked if I was okay. I was but my foot was throbbing. I'm not exactly sure how I landed, but I think I landed on my toes and caught myself with the balls of my foot. Maybe not my best idea since I'm still healing and it hurts. I just stood there at the door to my room cause I couldn't move. My foot was throbbing. It felt like I had stretched the stitches or something when I landed. Gabriel had come back in at some point (lost track of everything except taking deep breaths and working on not screaming or crying but was slightly failing cause tears were still falling down my cheeks) and he came over to see if I was okay. I wasn't but didn't want to make a scene and also we had to leave soon for the reception.

It took a moment, but I grabbed my things and went back out to the living room. I finished getting all ready and put a smile on and was ready to go. We went to the reception and had a blast! After we got home, we put a movie on and I put ice on my ankle to help with any possible swelling that had happened. I wanted to like, cut off the bandage and see if/what had happened. But I didn't. It didn't hurt too bad after I got home, so I was just icing it and keeping it elevated just to be safe.

After the movie, I went to bed and I woke up a couple time during the night cause it was sore but nothing to, to bad. However, when I woke up the next morning... HOLY HANNAH! My whole foot hurt! I'm thinking that when I landed on it I bruised it or something... but wow! Talk about painful! Like parts I hadn't landed on hurt! It was weird..

When I woke up, I did my best to ignore the pain until I finally decided to get up and going for the day. I took a deep breath, and some ibprofen, and went about my day. It is still really sore right now, but not too bad. I figure, there is not blood I can see, and I'm going to see the doctor on Tuesday morning, so I can wait till then. I will let you know what happens! I hope I didn't do anything too bad and that I can still get my stitches out! haha :P
