So I was sitting by the computer this morning, minding my dues as I usually do in mornings, with my Left leg comfortably folded beneath my right leg, and was just about to head downstairs to do all further dues I cannot do by the computer.

To complicate simple matters my left Foot had apparently fallen asleep, without my noticing, and as I stood up and put pressure on this left foot my left leg gave out under me. I stumbled, and to keep from falling put further pressure on my left foot, not noticing it folded inwards in its dormant state, and was the reason for my predicament in the first place.

And so, as I sat on the floor with my foot rapidly swelling up, and waking up - with a deja-vu like pain reminiscent of that one time now long ago (twenty year anniversary next year!) when after I had dislocated a knee in Jujitsu practice, I jumped down the stairs and sprained my other foot on the way to answer a phone call...

So the crutches are out again. But the swelling's subsiding. I can put pressure on the foot without considerable pain, so a doctor visit doesn't seem necessary this time if it doesn't get worse than this. I rested half an hour or so to reduce initial swelling as soon as Google informed me that's what you should do in such situations, applied some Arnica ointment, and am back on my feet now, but I wonder if it's a good idea to go to work tomorrow. I most probably won't take the long walk I'd planned today, though we we'd intended to gather some birch sprouts on branches for upcoming Easter festivities. Maybe with a crutch huh. I have development dues to do so I'll be sitting by the computer a lot regardless, but this ankle's throbbing y'all...

Hadn't intended to spend this day on such trivial mishaps! But fun fact: Google translates påskris (Easter twigs) as Easter crisis.

Fingers crossed this sprain thang subsides quick.
