I've fallen and I can't get up!

If I didn't have bad luck then I would have no luck at all. Today I fell at work and severely sprained my ankle. Now, this was a freak accident. I pretty much have a desk type job, so I am sitting for most of the day. It just goes to show you that accidents can happen anywhere and at any time. My boss thought my ankle was broken and I have to say, I thought so too. I actually heard a crunching sound when it happened. My whole foot started to swell immediately and a huge egg formed above my ankle. I was brought to the doctor and x-rays were taken. Thankfully it was not broken! However, everyone tells me that a sprain like mine is much worse than a broken bone. I don't see how that's possible, but I will take their word for it. So, I am in a splint for several days and I will not be released to go back to work until Friday. In the mean time, I have to stay off my feet, elevate my ankle, and keep ice on it for the next 3 days. This is soooo not fun! Hopefully the pain will subside soon and I will be back to normal. Well, as normal as I can possibly get!
