wholefoodnut's Journal, 14 May 20

Trying hard to get back on track. Exercise p!an today was to mow my grass before storms hit tonight. Stepped in a hole the dogs dug that i didn't see as the growing grass was the same as the surrounding. Sprained my ankle, haven't done that for awhile. I have an ankle that has had many prior sprains a machine at the gym helps me strengthen it. Grass will wait and we have 3 days of rain predicted.

Off to the nearby hardware store for a new rubber end to my old cane as it is dry and slips. I used to use it before weight loss and workouts were a part of my life due to knee/leg issues. Was heading for a knee replacement then.

Moles my dogs hunt moles. No chipmunks around here but they are cute. Well upper body workout with the crutches LOL. The hardware store was closed-- covid hours. My crutches have good rubber that doesn't slide on my wood floors. Been through this many times the next 3 days will not be fun. A plus working from home so the bathroom isn't a long ways away. I will run up tomorrow and get a new rubber thing for my cane. I am prepared Lol crutches and a cane. Exercise mmm i will see. Will do my back to life video tomorrow.

Thanks all. Bill laughing!! I did end up in the dirt but on my knees ;). I was non weight bearing on that leg for almost a a year back in my 30's. Then in a limiting brace for another year so that ankle became weak and had many sprains over a few years. It has been prone to sprains since. Tis why i have handy crutches and work on ankle strengthening @ the gym. I haven't had to use them for over a year so past due, i guess. Well time for some aleve and off to bed.

OUCH! I still have had none of the rain they’ve been calling for for the last three days. It’s supposed to miss Lafayette county again tonight. Hope your ankle heals well! ❤️

Thanks all. It does feel better this am. A minor sprain i think and more twisted my foot itself than my ankle. Only a little swollen compared to what it could be. Will be nice to it today and keep it elevated when i can -- hard to do at a desk. So no cardio today :D Torrential rain during the night. Jazzy pup woke me up--she is not a fan of thunder-just before what sounded a wall of rain and possibly small hail hit. I would love it if the rain would go away for a week and be warm so i can get my garden in. Time to get ready for work.

WholeFoodnut, I think of you often. I'm so sorry you hurt your ankle again. You're doing great. You've got so much to take care of by yourself. I will pray for you and I hope you feel better soon. Ice that ankle. LOL

I don't know what i would do without all of your support. My ankle is thankfully proving to be a minor sprain, sure hurt last night. Will take it easy some the next few days as i do not want it give out and make it worse ( i've done that before). We have lots of rain forecast so too wet to work outside. I am trying use up some prepped food and will go back to tracking on Monday. MY Back to Life exercise video before bed. It is a combo of yoga,stretching and pilates and all on the floor on my mat.
