I hurt myself at work today.
First, I burnt myself. Not too bad, I just brushed the back of my hand against a hot popcorn machine kettle.
Then, I sprained my ankle. I was putting boxes of candy away in the warehouse...we had had a delivery and the boxes needed to be taken off the wooden pallette it came on and put up on the shelves. So, there I was with a 20lb box of Wonka Runts in my hands, and I stepped half-on, half-off the pallette and turned my foot up underneath my leg.
It made a sickening crunchy popping noise, there was a flare of pain...then nothing. Numbness. For about 10 mins. I knew I had sprained it, I've done it before....so I went off and got some ice from the produce department and sat with a bag of ice on the egg that was growing on the side of my foot. That's when it started to hurt.
Now, it hurts to bear weight (I can, but it hurts)...but it hurts more to move my foot up and down and curl my toes. I've iced it, I've elevated it, I've taken some Bextra. The knot on the side of my foot is still visible, and it's starting to bruise. There's really not much else I can do for it...except be more careful on it.
I'm having a klutzy day today. It happens pretty regularly. I don't understand why I have days like this. I'm usually not this clumsy.....
