B. got up with Devin this morning so I was able to sleep late, almost 8:30. B. went off to the hardware store while I had breakfast, did laundry, worked on my jigsaw puzzle. Nothing exciting there.
After B. returned from the hardware store, we decided to clean out the shed which had become a catch-all. It's really not that big of a shed so it didn't take more than an hour or so. However, somehow while exiting the shed, B. slipped, turning an ankle. We finished up and headed indoors. And then we took a look at that ankle! Quite swollen - as if a small lemon were attached to it. We read our health care books and they all told us to follow the RICE method - rest, ice, compression, elevation - and that B. should stay off the ankle for at least two days.
The rest and ice part was easy enough for me to prepare but I had to run to the drug store to get a bandage for compression. While I was there, I bought some crutches, too - in case B. needs to hobble about in the next two days. Looks like we'll be skipping the bike ride we'd planned for tomorrow - and possibly B's kayaking class on Saturday, too.
That's enough excitement for a while!
