I went to hospital today.....
« on: October 14, 2010, 06:26:12 PM »
....after doing something to my ankle playing football last night. Apparently I've got a sprained ankle - I've been told to keep it up as much as I can (easy Afghan) and not put too much pressure on it until the swelling has subsided. The upshot is that I may not be fit to make the long car journey to the meet on Saturday  :x

It's pretty painful and I'm not sure I could drive a long distance (let alone stand around all day playing guitars):



F@cking gutted.

OWWW!

Hope it eases off quickly.

I agree with Jonathan- Arnica gel- Mrs 38th owns a health food store and is forever "prescribing" it to me whenever I suffer a bizarre gardening injury. Swelling is good too-it is nature's way of bringing about a repair and immobilizing the part of the body affected so that it can heal.

North Hants A&E, eh? Was there myself a couple of weeks back with a dislocated finger (tried to catch a cricket ball and it carried on taking my finger with it..) - there were a lot of people with ankle injuries.

At least you can still play the geetar with a knackered ankle...
