i think i may have just sprained my ankle. I'm wandering around going "Haaah heh haaaah heh haaaah" (breathing really heavily). I always kneel when sitting at the computer (part habit, part seat lower than i like). So, getting up, feet a bit numb. And being me, I tend to run everywhere. Running + turning corner + numb feet = "Haaah heh haaaah heh haaaah". You know you have those long sort of bones in your foot, that spread from the heel to each toe (my biology is terrible, but this is at least how I picture it). Felt like all those rolled together, like my foot bent in half long ways. I've done this before; it's painful but it stops hurting after a while and it' no damage. No, problem is, ankle's still hurting. As I type. Foot now fine, but ankle not. Bad sign. And I've got to work tomorrow.

Eek. Put your foot on a pillow tonight so it's slightly higher than normal - that way if there's swelling it should hopefully drain a little.

If it gets really bad you can come borrow the utter 'orrible thingy the hospital gave to me to use when I sprained a ligament in my foot. Helps you stand up and walk around with much less pain, even if you do end up looking like a complete twat. ^_^

It's swollen a bit now, but I can walk on it okay. Stairs aren't so great. I'm one of htese people that after the first pain I kinda don't feel it - a dull ache doesn't bother me - so i can wander around just fine, though it tends to scare people a bit!
