Giving myself a free pass

I fell yesterday in Zumba class - rolled my ankle and fell to the floor... it was embarrassing...

Everyone in class was so sweet though -they stopped the music and doted over me like a bunch of hens taking care of an injured chick...  I had ice a pillow to prop my foot up, a towel to dry my tears and lots of "are you ok's?"

I iced it last night & it was still pretty swollen this morning...  I decided since I am already set up with a Foot and Ankle DR to go get it checked out... I didn't break anything... That's good...  From the x-ray he could tell me that I have injured my foot before - as there is some degenerative arthritis in all the areas of my ankle...  Nothing chronic - but there is some deterioration & some spurring...

Today it is just a Type 2 sprain - and he suggested a brace to wear all the time while it heals & when exercising for the next year or so - it just supports the ankle to help it keep from rolling...

So after walking for 1 mile this morning - before deciding I shouldn't do that any more until I knew for sure I hadn't broken my ankle - I am giving myself a free pass to not get to the 5 miles today...  It feels weird to be sitting a top a stool at my Trekdesk - but it is what it is... I will be back at it tomorrow...
