lol - i'm sorry, it's not really funny.
ICE!!!
Can you put weight on it?
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson

Corine2,
Not that I think this will help, but I had dinner at Blue Fin last Friday night and it was amazing! Thanks again!

Yes, ice! Ice! Ice!
Also, wrap it in something ASAP for support.
Hope you are feeling better soon!

I think the rule of thumb is to ice it and keep it elevated for the 24 hours directly following the injury - after that, ice won't do you any good, but heat will. I think.
Hope you're okay!

Posted: 4/21/05 at 1:20pmCorinne, please do not wear those very high spiked heels when cruising the streets of NYC as they can be detrimental to your health. You can still pick up men wearing sensible shoes. { although you might pick of a few women , too} Feel better.

Posted: 4/21/05 at 1:22pmYou won't pick up this woman with no sensible shoes.

Rath,
I pick up men not women.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
I don't own sensible shoes.

Ice, not heat, if there's swelling.
A heating pad will make it swell more.

I am fine but a picture of Holly would make me smile.
I love Blue Fin. I'm JEALOUS. Steve Hanson restaurants rock.
Blue Water Grill is even better.

Posted: 4/21/05 at 3:42pmI hope you didn't sprain it, but if there's any chance you did, be sure to keep your ankle immobile with something like a compression bandage. Make a figure eight around your foot and ankle. That way you won't do any further damage to it.

Posted: 4/21/05 at 3:48pmI also heard that if you keep your ankles over your head it not only helps to alleviate the pain, but also increases your chances of getting laid!
PEACE.
