OK so guess what!?!?!?!

I fractured my left ankle yesterday! I'm in a short leg cast, ABSOLUTELY NO weight bearing allowed, on crutches! I hurt it at the gym on Wednesday night and thought it might be sprained but stupidly went ahead, let it go and the next morning it was all swollen and twice as painful. So I still figured it was sprained but went to an immediate care who also thought it was sprained but x-rayed it to be sure and there it was, a teeeny tiny hairline fx. So they put on a temporary cast and I go see and orthopaedic surgeon Monday morning to see if it needs surgery (the statcare doc didn't think it would) and put the more permanent cast on it. I get to pick out what pretty color cast I want! I think I'll go pink or blue. SIGH.

I just keep thinking about the ramifications of not exercising. I CANNOT just sit around and gain weight. So I may be dropping out of the challenge, but I will keep coming to get inspired. I know, I can still do some light weights/upper body, but I'm gonna miss my cardio! I may even still be able to do some crunches? I just can't believe it.

I'm not in too much pain, thankfully. CRUTCHES ARE HARD! I always thought other people who use them must make it look easy! I'm barely coordinated enough for it! So I end up putting too much weight on the bad ankle and I know I'm doing it wrong, I just hope I don't worsen the fx. Plus maybe the MD on Monday can put a walking cast on it so I can go back to work.

Well wish me luck, that these crutches don't break my neck, and that I don't blow my whole plan being laid up on this thing. Love and luck to the rest of you. xoxoxoxooxo Michelle

Michelle, I am so soooooooo sorry! I came in to sneak a quick peek on the boards before going to bed, I am sooo tired and was too tired to even post my exercise but saw your post and just had to write.

I broke my ankle (fibula) around this time 2 yrs. ago! Pretty bad break, I was in quite a bit of pain the first week or so but it was a clean break and I needed no surgery. I doubt you will need it with a hairline fracture and also hopefully you heal at a quick rate. I am glad you are not in pain, I just felt so bad when I read your news. Listen, I want to recommend a site to you. www.mybrokenleg.com. It is a support group site for people with broken legs and was my saving grace when I broke my leg. There are a few nurses on the board and a great tips section and it is a great support site all the way around. I hope you find it helpful. COunt your lucky stars that you were exercising before the break! I had been exercising about 3 months before my break and I thanked myself every single day. I stil lhad a hard time lifting off the soft couch using mostly my muscles and I got tired, I can't imagine what it would have been like had I not been exercising and this when I vowed to exercise the rest of my life!!!!!!!
I had an awfulllll time with the crutches at first! just awful! go slow and take your time. I got accustomed to the crutches in time, you will get better at it but in the meantime take your time and stay off the bad ankle until the docs tell you can weight bear on it. I didn't gain weight, I lost weight. I didnt eat much, well I was mostly alone and on my own. Dh worked and nights he would have to go to the hospital as my MIL was in serious condition at the time. I couldnt do too much, but he would make me something before leaving. Then I got smart and had him bring up a little cooler with my water, food, etc.
I am not sure if you have stairs in your pad , but I dont recommend you do the stairs with the crutches. I have funky spiral stairs and I was also wobbly on the crutches and afraid of hurting myself so I would crawl up and down, I think it is safer....plus your using your quads a bit. Crawl forward on your knees going up the stairs and scoot down backwards on your butt while holdingyour leg up to get down. Alsooooooo, Have someone place a chair for you at the bottom and top step to make it easier to get up and down. Have someone get you a waist belt thing so you can carry your stuff around in it that way.
You will find useful info. on the site. I wish you a speedy recovery and yes, please stick around. Also, please feel free to prive me any time. Take care and keep us poste. ok i better head to bed, I'll post my workouts tomorrow.

Hello ladies. Hope you all have a great weekend and happy mothers day to the moms and also to the kids of the moms!
