Ankle Issues

I sprained my ankle on the Friday before Halloween. I was walking my dog, when she saw a rat in front of a high school. Morgan took off after the rat while I was standing halfway on a step, pulling me off of my feet. I took a painful tumble in front of some snickering high schoolers.

After limping around for a couple weeks, I took Morgan on a longer walk last night. I was feeling spry, so I decided to run up a grassy hillside. But my ankle wasn't ready for it. I didn't resprain it, but my foot shot a sudden dash of pain up to my brain to tell me to slow down. And now it's been throbbing all day again.

Today's lesson: patience.
