OUCH it was painful! THANKFULLY, Kathryn was patiently waiting for me inside and I wasn't holding her car seat or else she would have gone down with me. After laying there in extreme pain for a minute, I got myself up, very, very slowly. Since the swelling wasn't going down, I finally went to the doctor...4 days later (however I still ran my errands that day after an hour of resting!). The doctor couldn't believe the swelling, but the good news was that I didn't break or fracture anything, instead I tore a ton of ligaments (hence the bruises all over my feet...see below for evidence!).
So now I'm supposed to wear an air cast for a month to prevent me from re-injuring myself and to help with the sprain. My ankle feels much better after I've been carefully walking on it for a while, but the initial walking around is terrible, especially after sleeping all night!
My lovely air cast protecting my swollen foot/ankle/leg. Still trying to figure out how I'm going to wear this when I go back to work in a week and half since right now sneakers are the only shoes I own that it will fit in...

The bruising


So last night we hobbled around and had a romantic Saturday evening watching a movie as we iced our wounds :).
On a brighter note, I attempted a short walk with Kathryn because my ankle feels better after walking around it for a bit. Here she is looking oh-so-cute in her sun hat.

And of course, I had to end this post with her cute-as-can-be smile! Looking at this picture suddenly makes any pain I'm having, disappear.
