I’ve kind of hit a brick wall when it comes to my ongoing weight loss. While I am very close to my original goal and I’m still eating properly, I’m having a bit of trouble with preforming any real exercise. A few weeks ago, while on one of my regular daily walks I was unaware of a big dip in the road based on the fact that it was filled in with leaves. The step down basically knocked me on my ass and I literally had to call the house to have my hubby come and pick me up off the street a few blocks up. I couldn’t walk and my foot swelled up to about three times the size. I knew it wasn’t broken because I’ve broken and sprained my ankles so many times that I can tell the difference. I’m aware that I have weak ankles due to past experiences so naturally I knew how to treat it. I pulled my aircast out of the closet, pumped it up a little and slapped it on. I’m able to move around but standing up for long periods of time is proving to be difficult for me. Since I’m hunched over from trying to avoid putting too much presser on my foot, I’m finding it hard to keep my back from hurting me as well. So basically it’s a whole series of issues that I hope to clear up as soon as possible. The cast I’ve been using for years is a bit tattered and torn so I’ve been looking into new ankle braces on betterbraces.com. While I was there I began looking into knee braces for Sean because of the water in his knee thanks to an old Wrestling injury in high school. The two of us are literally falling apart, guess we were meant for each other - heh.
