RICE rest, ice, compression and i think it’s elevation :) I actually think that applies to sprains but as it’s swelling I’m sure that would do no harm!
Get well soon :)
ice for the first 24 hours (ice in a zip lock back covered with a hand towel never ice directly on skin will cause damage), then warm dry heat (heating pad) for the next 24-48 hours. Take the ice/heat off every 20-30 minutes and let skin come to room temp and then reapply ice/heat. Advil for swelling and pain. Wrap with ace wrap to help keep swelling down after first 24 hours. Good luck!
Well, you really ask two questions. Firstly, and most simply, we’ll address your ankle complaint. I suggest ice and sympathy for your sore parts. Secondly, we must address the menace that is gravity! I mean bending to scoop up peas? Drinking beer from a glass?! Why doesn’t this stuff float in to my mouth whilst I sit watching zombie films? Darn you gravity!!
I fell about 15 minutes ago and it swelled up pretty fast, I can still move it and I have feeling in it but I can’t put weight on it… have to hop everywhere, very undignified.

Is there anyone that can take you to the hospital?
I would get it checked if I were you so you know the best thing to do.
Stop listening to us now! I think the unanimous vote is… ice ice baby! Had to say it but I do think you should go hospital very quickly as well, but at the moment frozen peas are good for cold compression :)

ok, sounds good, as long as you don’t leave it too long.
Use the ice, keep it rested and just keep an eye on it, make sure it doesn’t change colour and also that you don’t start to lose and feeling in your foot.

I’ll stay vigilant, I don’t think I’ll be getting much sleep tonight anyway.
Haha! How strange?! Girls flashing their feet and are they ironically singing about parmesan cheese?!!
Well I vote for leaving your foot attached for now, but you never know, it may not be your choice, it may just fall off!
Goodnight and I hope you get better and the foot fetish doesn’t develop into something worrying :)

Well sir, I am afraid that if I was to tell you what was next you would be so very disgusted by both me and mankind in general that you would immediately isolate yourself from everybody and go live in a small white room would your only conversation partner would be a watermelon named eric.

Your desire for me to keep my foot is greatly appreciated, though if it does fall off I promise I shall immediately send it to you so you can proudly display it on your mantle piece. :)

Could you!!? Ohh lucky me :) (She prays that the foot stays put on owners leg) Sorry, I’m sure your foot is just loverly!
Ha! This is probably iin the top ten of strangest conversations I have had, woman (I’m assuming) promises me her foot, priceless and only with virtually anonymous strangers on the spiders interweb!
It’s time for me to go to bed. As it’s 12-45 in the morning here I think I should go now.
Anyway this favoritism sending you best foot to some else is just not on you know. Put your best foot forward, dont forget to rest the other one thogh. Good night all.

Shock!
I can assure you I’m a dude… does this mean I have a feminine online persona??
Hmmm, I can remedy this with a simple name change, one sec.

Typos are contagious.
And don’t fret, if you’re nice I’ll send you a couple of toes. :)
Dipps on both feet! :) haha well night MR man, I really really really am off to my bed now. And don’t go throwing yourself down any more staircases :)
Get fixed soon!
This is my last bit for this post. You think you had it bad? You should read this.
The Bricklayer’s Accident Report
This is a bricklayer’s accident report that was printed in the newsletter of the English equivalent of the Workers’ Compensation Board. So here, thanks to John Sedgwick is this Bricklayer’s report:
Dear Sir:
I am writing in response to your request for additional information in Block #3 of the accident reporting form. I put “Poor Planning” as the cause of my accident. You asked for a fuller explanation and I trust the following details will be sufficient.
I am a bricklayer by trade. On the day of the accident, I was working alone on the roof of a new six-story building. When I completed my work, I found I had some bricks left over which when weighed later were found to weigh 240 lbs. Rather than carry the bricks down by hand, I decided to lower them in a barrel by using a pulley which was attached to the side of the building at the sixth floor.
Securing the rope at ground level, I went up to the roof, swung the barrel out and loaded the bricks into it. Then I went down and untied the rope, holding it tightly to insure a slow descent of the 240 lbs of bricks. You will note on the accident reporting form that my weight is 135 lbs.
Due to my surprise at being jerked off the ground so suddenly, I lost my presence of mind and forgot to let go of the rope. Needless to say, I proceeded at a rapid rate up the side of the building.
In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel which was now proceeding downward at an equally impressive speed. This explains the fractured skull, minor abrasions and the broken collarbone, as listed in Section 3 of the accident reporting form.
Slowed only slightly, I continued my rapid ascent, not stopping until the fingers of my right hand were two knuckles deep into the pulley which I mentioned in Paragraph 2 of this correspondence. Fortunately by this time I had regained my presence of mind and was able to hold tightly to the rope, in spite of the excruciating pain I was now beginning to experience.
At approximately the same time, however, the barrel of bricks hit the ground, and the bottom fell out of the barrel. Now devoid of the weight of the bricks, the barrel weighed approximately 50 lbs. I refer you again to my weight.
As you might imagine, I began a rapid descent down the side of the building. In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel coming up. This accounts for the two fractured ankles, broken tooth and severe lacerations of my legs and lower body.
Here my luck began to change slightly. The encounter with the barrel seemed to slow me enough to lessen my injuries when I fell into the pile of bricks and fortunately only three vertebrae were cracked.
I am sorry to report, however, as I lay there on the pile of bricks, in pain, unable to move and watching the empty barrel six stories above me, I again lost my composure and presence of mind and let go of the rope…
The swelling has gone down significantly and I can just about hobble about on it now and Im fairly sure it will recover, the pain has gone from execrutiating to a persistent ache, which I’ve decided is a good thing (feel free to admire my optimistic nature).
So I shall be keeping my foot.
My apologies to those I promised it to and my gratitude to all who responded to this post. You reaffirm my dwindling faith in humanity.
Well I care as well. How are you fixed for playing center forward in our football team, this weekend?
Our usual guy fell down the stairs and twisted his ankle.
By the way thep, your thing about the builder was really funny :) It wasn’t real was it? I would be horrified if I was laughing at somebody who really did that to themselve, even though they did slightly deserve it for being just a little bit silly.
Some think it a true story, others dont. I haven’t a clue. Until I saw that about Kingston, I thought it was a place near to london or a place in Jamacia. I dont live in any of those places.
How are you fixed for that footy match on the weekend? I’m counting on you.

I’m afraid football just makes me far too angry, I’ll be glad to sew the uniforms though. :)
I already sent the man the sewing patterns, he seems to realy appreciate them a lot. I’m just trying to keep him hyper busy so he will forget his earlier missfortune with gravity.

If you had the sense, like me you would live in a bungalow from now on. It is almost impossible to fall down the stairs in one of them.
Dont worry to much about the man, I will find him loads of patterns to peruse at his leasure very soon.
I had to check if peruse was selt correctly, I think this is the first time I have ever used it.

I would live in a bungalow but then my large collection of slinky spring type things would be rendered useless and I can’t allow so many years of gathering the rarest slinkies imaginable, from the most remote parts of the earth, to be wasted.
Well, I am thinking that usually the are not as many steps to step ladder, as there are to a set of stairs.
I am thinking only of your safety. You impinged on my integritty. Miss Minnie has said something naughty and has to wait for approval, he he he.
Just to put your mind at rest, all it means is that a modderator hasn’t noticed it yet.
Oops there it goes again. I hope your not going to keep repeating yourself.
Oh help.com you are actually joking me!! I was only trying to rephrase the phrase in a more polite way than I did before :( Angry now. haha silly moose of a website!
ah yes, I checked your profile. Before you hit the three month mark and get that prestigious hourglass that both myself and mr thep have, your replies will be filtered abit more severely.
Well, as much as I would love to, the last time I played football, there was an incident and several hundred dragonflies were tragically killed. I have now been banned from playing by the National Society for the Protection of Dragonflies(NSPD).
I thought I was talking to two women until you told me you weren’t! I agree with the nightness I should go, whatever would my mother say at me up at this time to two random men that I don’t know, and disgracing myself with bad language that the mods dislike :(
Night Thep, night Mr foot :)
Remember, you can not say but tocs any more,(join it together though), without it being censored. You will have to call them but cheeks instead.
Surely not even “Mr foot” could break one of those could he? Well on second thoughts perhaps he might be able to manage such an impossible task.
Any way, both of you remember to put your best foot forward. To blame Isac Newton for “Mr Foots” accident. Isac Newton blames apples for causing gravity, so I think you deserve this
Mr Hausosnhs.
As promised the knitting patters. You have already got plenty of sewing patterns, I sent them a few days ago. http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/en/kat…
Foot ball boots please, I have given them to you to make my football team stuff. Of corse you can still play center forward possition instead if you want.
I have to leave for a while will catch you later.
I’m sure you two were dissapointed in my lack of rudyness from my stopped replies :)
Sorry thep that I called you a random man, I shall of course call you thep. Unless I could call you Lion or whatever is in the piccy but I’m not sure you’d like that much either. Didn’t really get the pony video, unless you put it because he is “gnimmub (backwards) around”!?
And sorry Mr foot as I shall continue to call you that unless you really don’t want that as I really don’t want to type your real name out as it doesn’t really make sense. Unless of course it really is your name, in which case it’s just loveeerly.
And if knitted socks are being handed out put my name down for a pair… with pompoms :)
I rather liked random man, I was even thinking of using it for my user name on here. As you are a nice girl, I dont mind what you call me.
That (backwards) bit is right on. I think you deserved something for the filtered bad language thing the other night. So I found an equally awful clip, that related to but tocks.
Now about these knitted socks, Mr foot, Hopp-a-long, Mr Hausosnhs or whatever his real name is, has got to do my football teams outfits first. If he has any wool left over, he can then make those socks for you. I have a feeling that one will end up to small and the other far to large, or they will both be right footed but I know he will do the best he can for you.
You will have to make your own pom poms, I have gone to great lengths to find this for you, http://techknitting.blogspot.com/2008…
Thanks for the idea, I will have them on all of the knitted foot ball boots, two for each boot.
Dont forget to tell Mr foot, Hopp-a-long, Mr Hausosnhs or whatever his real name is, that there are only two (2) in a pair.
I forgot to ask you the last time, Would you like to be my new center forward for my foot ball team? Mr foot, Hopp-a-long, Mr Hausosnhs or whatever his real name is, has refused to take up this high ranking lucrative post.

I have no issue with being called mr foot and you may continue to refer to me as such. :)
It may become my new username as it seems much better than my current, which is merely a selection of random letters.
Before you get carried away with all of this sensationalism, just think about how you will end up, after kicking the ball. Only being able to use one foot. You will have to hop to the foot ball, then kick it with the same foot. As you are kicking it, gravity is once again going to come into full force, aided with the force of your momentum. OUCH!!!!!
Dont forget the knitted football boots and the two (PINK)pom poms.
Ok I’m pleased that I may continue with random man.
Ha I’m looking forward to my knitted socks whether they are odd sizes or not, and for all you know I may have odd feet.
Of course I would be happy to oblidge and help out with footballing skills. Trouble is I’m at a wedding on Saturday and I’m going away on Sunday for two whole weeks, methinks I may miss it somehow? Shame really, my games teacher said my football skills were legendary and she wishes she had her camcorder but she sais that’s only because I play like a rhinosaurus (can’t spell but it’s like an elephant with no trunk but a huge mono horn). Yeah so you are missing out there!
Oh Mr Foot, I am flattered you changed your name, suits you :)
you wrote this above, up ^^^^^^^^ there somewhere. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^.
“she sais that’s only because I play like a rhinosaurus (can’t spell but it’s like an elephant with no trunk but a huge mono horn).”
That is the most fantastic description I have ever seen. It has a certain, sort of poetic beauty about it.
As you have been such a good girl, you haven’t been sensored for naughty words for days now. You deserve a preassy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RUJ7S….
Glad you liked the slinky tune, it is rather catchy, dont you think.
The slinky by the way is relevent to this post, Mr Foot. It shows how to go down stairs, without gravity causing so much pain. It looks like one stair at a time, is the order of the day.
Now that is the sort of thing that realy gets me wondering. Mmmmmmmmm, why would your mattress ware a helmet? Mmmmmmmmmm. What sort of treatment could a mattress get, that needs the assistance of a helmet? Hmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!
I am seriously hoping that you have managed to behave your self this week. You have, I hope, managed to NOT hurl your self off the top stair and think that gravity is not going to play a part, in the procedings.
Just thought you would like to know, a message from Snoddgrass the Muffin Man. Like you he has eyes every where, yes even there. He saw you coming, it was a replica of him in disguise, that you blindfolded.
