The klutz-o in me struck again. I was shopping with the youngest today and stepped off the escalator and onto the floor of the store. But just off the landing they have a slight drop-off of about two inches. I didn’t see it and therefore I dropped off and twisted my left ankle.

Its very swollen now and I’m applying RICE.

I’m thinking that you have too much on your mind, and you’re not concentrating on the here and now in your daily comings and goings.

Be careful out there!

J, never heard of RICE on a injury, one of those ‘overseas’ thing?

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! Wow Ladies! Take care of your ailments. Lysie, you've been given good advice about not waiting - I understand the hip operations are far better than the knee operations and they've improved the procedure so much now.

bev, ouch! Take care...

Jemian, what is RICE? I don't recall the term. YOu take care. It seems you are bumping and knocking and scraping all over the place!
