Wednesday 5th August 2012


Well.. What happened this day.. Hmm... Had a rough week with dislocations/sub-luxes. Today was the worst of the week - both my ankles decided to pop out. Causing me to nearly fall but luckily grabbed on to the bed. 

Both ankles were in agony - but put left one in easily and the worst one was defo my right one which I noticed seemed to have a small hard looking bump poking against the skin. It looked abnormal as hell! So I took my Tramadol and Paracetamol and some anti-sickness to stop me from vomiting. Once the hubby got hoe we finally decided to just get it checked out at the hospital as I was in a lot of pain and the ankle could have took some injury from it.

The ambulance came out & they gave me a mask rather than a nozzle to use with gas & air which was so much better than the nozzle guys! It gets into your lungs quicker and it's excellent. They got me to shuffle down on my bum ( that was a sight I'll tell ya! ) and got me to hospital where I met a very nice guy in hand-cuffs escorted round by two police officers who had possibly dislocated his fingers. Also a 6 year old girl who had broken a bone in her elbow!! By end of it, doctor says a small tendon had ripped and curled to form a ball under skin and I have sprained the right ankle! AGAIN! Oh the joy! Was so happy to get home and got a taxi home.

Below is 2 pictures of my ankle wrapped up nicely by the doctor to help reduce swelling AND support it :)
