I had just stepped out and had no more sat down in a chair, then BOOOOOM! I ran up my porch steps and said there was just a wreck down the street. Give me my cell phone and a pair of shoes (they brought me my slip ons, there's a reason for me mentioning these). I took off running down the road trying to call the police.
Its almost 10:30 at night, totally dark, so I decided I better get on the other side of the road against traffic, but I went to far. (Its a side street, very few cars but) While I was running and dialing, my foot went off the pavement. I heard a pop from my ankle and went all the way down, but I got up and keep on running. I made it down there, asked the questions the disbatcher was asking. No one seemed to be hurt, but the one ladies airbag went off so I told her to stay still. We live so close to the fire dept, I swear by the time I hung up the phone, I heard the firetrucks pulling out. How these two cars hit each other you got me, one road is 25 mph and the other 35 mph.
When DH finally caught up with me, I was sitting in the grass. Met someone I use to work with 14 years ago. DH saw me rubbing my ankle, he said what's wrong? I said I fell, he said I thought you dropped your cell phone. Yeah, dropped my cell phone me laying in someones yard...LOL.... No, I told him about the pop. I have a small knott on the side of my foot/ankle. Its swelled, but I can walk on it...LOL. Leave it to me, try to do something good for someone and I always end up hurt.
I'm sitting here with my foot in water and epson salt (request of DH) trying to get the swelling down a little. I guess where I caught myself, my wrist hurts some too. Of course it had to be my ankle that my bad knee is on. I'll be alright just hope the swelling is gone before I go to work tomorrow night. I'm on my feet for 9 hours. Dh thinks I just pulled a muscle or legiment....geeez that's great. Hopefully, it will go down and everything will be alright.
Oh, never try to run in those slip on tennis shoe looking things........it just don't work! I should have just gone barefooted.
I think I missed my calling years ago. No way I could ever pass the EMT things they require. Guess I'll just stick to wanting to go to school, someday I'll make it over there and sign up for nursing.
