summer... *sigh*
As glad and ecstatic I am about summer and the end of a long (but fun) 16 credit quarter... I'm in pain. Much pain that struck at about the same time last year... I twisted my bloody ankle again playing basketball >_< This time the right one... (twisted left one last year) This year however... I think it's a worse sprain, so I'm definately out of commission for what I think should be about a month... Definately no more sports T_T; and I'm gonna try to be able to walk with minimal limp-age as soon as possible. I've learned that the best way for a sprained ankle to heal is to follow these guidelines:
R.I.C.E. (i swear i didn't make this acronym up, I dunno if the guy who did was asian.)
R = Rest
I = Ice it
C = Compression; meaning wrapping it
E = Elevation; to keep from too much blood from flowing, which I definately need to get rid of... my foot is as swollen like a blimp.
Other than that, I just gotta pray that it heals fast so I can get out again and enjoy what I have of this summer. I hope to see everyone I can this summer and hang out with you all. =)
