I fell this morning and twisted my foot.

[ThomCat]

My ankle is swelling up nicely. Somebody please kiss my booboo and make it all better... :cry:

(at least I'm already on crutches, so I can still sort of walk.) :)

[mzteris]

1. oh no.....

:*

Did you ice it right away?

Instead of walking, just sit and put your foot up and REST.

[ThomCat]

2. I'm at work, so no ice.

x(

But I've confiscated a small foot-stool and I put it under my desk so I can keep my food elevated. I'm blowing off a meeting so I can stay here at my desk. They can survive without me. :)

[mzteris]

16. They don't have an insty ice pack

in the first aid kit????? That's a must have.

You should send someone out for an ice pack. Really.

Keep an eye on it. You might need to get it xrayed.

:hug:

[ThomCat]

17. I drafted a coworker, who found ice and a plastic bag.

Gotta love nice coworkers. :)

I'm hoping it doesn't turn into a trip for an x-ray.

[mzteris]

22. Good.

Did you take some ibuprofen?

Also - if you fell at work - it's considered a worker's comp - so you can get xrayed - and treated on their nickle.

[ThomCat]

24. It happened on my way to work.

And like a damned fool I didn't turn around and go back home. I considered it, but decided that I have too much work that's on tight deadlines. :(

[NewWaveChick1981]

3. OMG, ThomCat...

:hug: I'm so sorry. Here's a booboo kiss: :* I hope it gets better soon. :pals:

[ThomCat]

6. A hug and a boo boo kiss?

Wow. You're awesome. :loveya:

[AllegroRondo]

4. Ice for 24 hours, then heat

and keep it elevated if possible!

[ThomCat]

7. I'm trying.

I'm scrounging for something I can put the ice in. :)

[AllegroRondo]

9. ziplock bag?

towel?

[ThomCat]

10. Plastic bag from the deli on the corner.

:)

[skygazer]

5. Bummer, Thom

I hope it's not too badly hurt. Here's a kiss for your booboo. I am a mom so it's guaranteed or your money back. :*

[ThomCat]

8. Boo boo kisses are great medicine.

[ThomCat]

14. That's a damned beautiful icecube.

:7

Thank you. :pals:

[fizzgig]

15. oh sweetie!

are you okay otherwise? :* for the ankle

[ThomCat]

20. I was doing very well today until that curb attacked me.

:P

Now I'm leaning heavily on the crutches, and the arthritis in my wrists is beating me up. Can't win for lossing. I'm going to follow people's advice and stay off my feet for the rest of the day.

[fizzgig]

25. damn that curb

and yes, stay off your feet as much as you can. busted up ankles are no fun

[MissMillie]

18. ouch!

I'm sorry you have a boo-boo.

Please take care of yourself.

[ThomCat]

21. I definitely will. :)

Thank you. :hug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

19. sigh!

sorry :hug:

[ThomCat]

23. Me too.

It's nice to find out that my coworkers look out for me. I've had half a dozen people come by to ask me if I need anything. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. My dear ThomCat!

I'm so sorry, sweetie!

Here's a kiss for your booboo......:*

Hope it heals up very quickly!

[ThomCat]

27. Hi Peggy!

How was your trip? :)

I was thinking, this morning, that I had not seen you in a while. Either you had no internet access or you were so busy having a great time that you forgot about us. :7

[billyskank]

28. Oh no! That is totally poo

:hug:

[ThomCat]

29. It really is.

:hug:

But it does have one perk. My boss has decided to leave me alone today because I growled at him earlier. I'm getting a lot done. :)

[Rising Phoenix]

30. kiss kiss

[ThomCat]

33. Thank you, Thank you!

:P

[TOhioLiberal]

31. Sorry about your foot...

...:* here's a kiss to make it feel better. And a hug :hug: to make the rest of you feel better. Take it as easy as you can. :hug:

[ThomCat]

34. I will do my best to take your good advice.

:)

:pals:

[LaraMN]

32. Oh sweetie!

Be careful! I hope you won't try and walk on it, too much.
:-( :hug: :hug:

[ThomCat]

36. I'm trying to stay off it altogether.

I'm failing, mind you, but I'm still trying. :P

:hug:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

35. Aww...

:hug: I know how bad that can hurt. :(

[ThomCat]

37. As long as I stay seated it doesn't hurt much at all.

When I stand, I do this funny dance. I hop on one foot with crutches, trying not to touch the floor with my other foot.

I thought I knew how to use these things, but now I wonder how people with a broken leg manage. x(

:hug:

[skygazer]

40. After my first knee surgery, they gave me crutches

I did okay right up until I had to walk down the narrow path to my house. I started swinging along downhill, got going rather too fast and then one crutch got stuck in the weeds beside the path.

I'm sure it was all fun to watch. :P

I just hobbled down it after the second surgery.

[ThomCat]

41. I am sure it was hillarious to watch!

I'm entertaining my coworkers to no end today. :P

[Fredda Weinberg]

38. Feel better soon eom

[ThomCat]

42. Thank you, Fredda.

I'm certainly going to try. :)

[libnnc]

39. Dang, Thom, I hurt my foot too last night

stubbed one of my toes (second to last) and ripped off part of my toenail. x( x( x(

Kisses to you!

[ThomCat]

43. Ow, ow, ow, ow...

x(

I hope your toe is okay. Kisses to you too. :*
