I know. LOL My ankles are normally teeny tiny so this was really bad for me. The fact that the swelling went out so fast led me to believe it wasn't as bad as it looked but when I still had trouble walking after a month I decided to have it looked at and have x-rays. I only weigh 120 pounds and that's probably why it didn't break. We took the three little house dogs to the day I fell. I was bent over taking the leashes off of my two girls and my husband was behind me with my daughter's little male (my girl's brother). He ran full blast at me from behind and knocked me over while I was still bent over. I don't normally fall easily. My girls know not to jump on people but he was never taught. I try to teach him not to do that when I keep him through the week but if they don't reinforce it when he's at home he will not learn.
I keep bees and get stung fairly regular. Getting stung on the fingers or boney parts of your head swell like crazy and look horrendous. Part of why your boney ankles swell excessively. When you swell up on a meaty spot the ugliness goes in and you dont see it as much. Same amount of swelling but you can ignore it easier.
