Still in Pain

I am still in pain, though it’s not nearly as bad as it was yesterday. I’m afraid of pain, I’m afraid if I do too much on my ankle it will hurt again as bad as it did yesterday.
I’m at work today, not drinking much so that bathroom breaks are few and far between. Crutches suck, I am not good on them and man they hurt my arms! It’s like a workout! I met a coworker in the hallway and she said she lost 10 pounds when she was using crutches. Ugh. They look so ‘cool’ on TV, they suck in real life. So does being hurt. Especially with too many foster dogs, though it looks like one might go to a foster home and another to a forever home, within the next couple of weeks. Cross your fingers!
I am so out of money, can’t even buy any more dog supplies. I spent way too much on my trip. I almost drained my kitchen fund. From now on to whenever, I’m going to be spending no money and put my extra back into the kitchen fund. Ugh.
On this day..

I broke my ankle 3 years ago and it still bothers me. I was climbing at ladder into my attic and I almost made it when the ladder went over to my right. It happened so fast I had no time to react but I did manage to grab the inside of the ceiling with my right hand but that probably caused most of the damage to my ankle. Because by grabbing on to the ceiling it cause me to swing out to my right being that my left hand missed. I swung out to my right; my body over compensated, and then I landed on my right ankle in a very bad position and I could actually hear it pop even over the noise of the ladder falling. I broke it on both the inside and outside and had to have several screws to reattach my foot. It was the worse pain I have every experienced and it took me out of commission for 3 months.
I still managed to play Flyball even though I didn’t have a walking cast. I had to play from a wheelchair. That’s dedication for you, and yes, crutches suck big time. I never got use to them.
Hope you are well soon!

Oh my, that sounds awful. Flyball in a wheelchair is something I would do too.
I say that if I ever become disabled, just don’t take away my eyesight so I can keep doing dog things!
