[MoonandBean]

Get well soon! I'm sure you know the deal....Rest those ankles, Ice em like crazy, wear ace bandages, elevate on pillows above the level of your heart and motrin or any anti-inflammatory if you can take those.

Moon and Bean are sending you big headbumps!

[Catty1]

Oh dear, Kim! Is THIS what happened?

[moosmom]

Get well soon, Kim! We need you!

[Scooter's Mom]

Get well Kim! I'm still tending to my sprained ankle from nearly 3 weeks ago. I second the directions you received to elevate, ice and rest! I was told to only ice for 20 minutes at a time, or it can do reverse damage. And to never put the ice pack directly on the skin.

Hope you are feeling better soon!

[orangemm]

Kim that has to be awfully painful (one of my friends just did it to herself :rolleyes: ), so take it very easy and slow.

I'm sorry you are in pain; do what the doc says and let others take care of YOU!

[Barbara]

Kim, I'm so sorry- I know everything about sprained ankles and ligament ruptures as I had it two years ago.
All the best to you- it will be all fine again!

[Medusa]

Oh goodness, I'm sorry to hear this. Get plenty of rest, take some good drugs and, if that doesn't help, there's always booze. ;) I do hope you feel better real soon.

[Freedom]

Kim -- what Candace and Emerald Green said! Hugs to you, heal up.

[GILL]

Take it easy and get well, the crew is pulling for you.

[Moesha]

Oh I'm so sorry to hear this! I hope you recover quickly and those kitties help bring some smiles to your face during this difficult time! Looking forward to having you around posting pictures and stories again very soon!

[Vermontcat]

I'm so sorry to hear that you are hurting Kim! :(

Samantha sends GET WELL SOON WISHES your way. :)

(Can you see that look of concentration on her face?) ;)

I'm also going to PM you those other two photos that I wasn't able to send to you by e-mail earlier today. :)

[gini]

Aw, Kim, so painful...........and I feel for you. Follow all of the advice and TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.........and let everyone wait on you.

I sure hope you are feeling better very soon.

[Karen]

At least we know you have canine and feline furnurses to help you. We'll all be thinking of you!

[Grace]

Please - take it easy. Let the cats and dogs spoil you for now. I can just picture you sitting with both feet up, surrounded by Tabitha, Bear, Betina, Rosie and her babies - and all the rest of them.

[lizbud]

Oh wow, one sprained ankle is bad enough & you have two? :(
Hope your meds can ease the pain & you can get to healing up soon.

[WELOVESPUPPIES]

Sending healing vibes your way Kim!! Hope you are up and about real soon. ((hugs))

[carole]

Aww Kim you poor thing, i really feel your pain, i have sprained the same ankle four times, and the last was the worst ever, the pain is awful, i sure hope they can give you some meds to control it and you heal well,i am so sorry you are having to go through this, no fun at all, thinking of you and wishing you to be pain free and well again soon.

[Taz_Zoee]

Oh no! :( I am so sorry Kim. I hope you have not torn any ligaments. That would not be good. I know your pain, I have "severly twisted" my ankle before. Those were the docs words.
The best thing is what everyone else has already suggested. Take it easy. I tried to go back to work too soon (at the day care center). Not a good idea.

I hope you are feeling better soon. :)

[AbbyMom]

Get well soon, Kim.

Thank God you are surrounded by kitty nurses!

[K9karen]

Aw Kim..I'm so sorry you're feetless. Ouch. I had a torn ligament in my ankle last year so I feel your pain. *Shivers*.I hope that bein surrounded by your kitties will help you feel better soon.

[DrKym]

Kim as always still in my thoughts miss you

[prechrswife]

Get well soon!

[RedHedd]

Aw, man, Kim, that sucks! I'm hoping your heal quickly.

[kuhio98]

Purrring healing vibes for you.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Kim, I'm so sorry to hear this.:( Please follow your doctors orders and I hope that you'll feel better and heal up quickly. Please take care.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Poor Kimmie..., I'm so sorry to hear this :(
Please take care, and be sure to be pampered :)

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Ouch! that sounds very painful! Take care Kim

[smokey the elder]

I wish Bubba and Pink Nose could lie on you and purr to help your ankle but I'm sure some of your babies will do you this service. Get well soon!

[kimlovescats]

Hello, and thank you all for the well wishes! Boy, am I some KLUTZ!!! :rolleyes: I had just checked the mailbox and was looking at one of my little dogwood trees. As I started back across the yard I cut through our landscaping along the sidewalk. We have a couple of those round stepping stones just for that purpose. Well, apparently my left foot rolled off of one of the stones and while trying to regain my balance, I threw my weight onto the right foot which caused it to also roll over. Unfortunately, all of my weight went onto that ankle and I wiped out onto the concrete. So now I have two bum ankles and scrapes, bruises and sore muscles. I apparently caught myself with my right hand as it has a fairly deep scrape and is sore when I try and put weight on it as well. :rolleyes:

I was so embarrassed lying there crying on my sidewalk but I was afraid to move and couldn't get up. I had surgery on that same right foot about 8 years ago after having done the same thing to it. The whole process of that injury took nearly a year ... months of different braces, casts, boots and then finally the surgery to remove a bone fragment. My first doctor never saw the 2 fractures on the x-ray. So, even though the ER tech said there are no breaks this time, I am still leery. I have quite a bit of swelling, bruising and of course, pain. :p

They gave me crutches at the ER but I nearly break my neck on them right now so I've sworn them off! I think the fact that I can't really put weight on my "good" ankle and the sore hand aren't helping my balance. Right now I am keeping an armless rolling computer chair by my bed. That is the only one that will fit through the bathroom door. Let me tell you how fun it is trying to get from a rolling chair to a potty seat on one foot! :eek: :D

Oh well, if the boredom of being mostly bedridden for a few more days doesn't kill me then I think I'll "make it"! ;) Sure wish I had a laptop!! Thankfully I can roll myself out to the moms and babies and check on them and give them fresh food and water. I just can't stay in my chair too long right now because I can't let my foot dangle. It's still swelling quite a bit. Hopefully that will subside soon as well.

Thank you for all the cute graphics and the picture of my dear sweet Samantha! They definitely put smiles on my face! :)


Helene ... thank you SO MUCH for the wonderful box of goodies for all the moms and babies and the special "pampering" items for me as well! It was perfect timing for them to come yesterday! Hubby got home late and brought the box to my bed! It was so nice to have a gift to open!!! You are the best! ;)


Hugs,
Kim

[Pam]

Kim I am a little late finding this post but glad that I caught it in time to see your note. I am so sorry to hear all of this. Please feel all of our (((hugs))) going around you!

Be careful on that desk chair! Several months ago I wanted to remove a picture hook from a wall that was high above my head. The only chair around was a desk chair (with wheels). As I climbed onto the chair I said to myself "this probably isn't a good idea." :rolleyes: :rolleyes: You guessed it. The chair moved (wheels will do that! :D ) and I wound up on the floor. :rolleyes: I would hate for you to wind up on the bathroom floor! Then you would have one more sore area! Please feel better soon!

[jazzcat]

Oh Kim, oh no!!!! You poor thing! Again I'll say it, I sure wish we lived closer to each other. I'd come help you out for sure. You guys just need to move to east TN so we can take care of each other.

We are deep in stain trying to stain all our decking and fence but I will try to give you a call in a day or so to check on you.

[pitc9]

OUCH!!!!
:eek:

I hope you're feeling better soon!

[lvpets2002]

:) Kim & your furr purr babies are so welcome && so glad you & all are enjoying the goodies I sent.. Hope your doing better today.. Hope the pain is a wittle bit easier for you.. Just rest & take it easy & get your hubby to pamper you to the hilt.. Have a Very Great Day Kim..

[Logan]

Gosh, Kim! I'm so sorry this happened. All I can say is OUCH!!!!! Get well soon!!! :)

[Laura's Babies]

Aww Kim! That is terriable and I know you are miserable. Good thoughts and wishes are coming your way from the south. Take it easy and give them time to heal. Get plenty of purr therapy to help you heal. ((((HUGS))))))

[KYS]

Wising you quick mend wishes.
Two bad ankles is NO fun. :(

[chocolatepuppy]

Get well soon Kim! :)

[Kirsten]

Ouch, Kim, that sounds awfully painful!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery; get well soon,

Kirsten

[kimlovescats]

Well, Pam, you were right about the rolling chair! I was rolling around in the living room, trying to straighten up a bit and leaned sideways over the coffee table to grab a napkin. While stretched at full reach and leaning sideways, my chair slid out from under me. I scraped my side on the table and landed rather harshly on my bottom. :rolleyes: After that I went to bed with new sore muscles in my back. I think someone needs to tie me to the bed. :eek:

Thankfully, hubby will be home this weekend to be my 'legs'. I have an appointment with an orthopedic on Tuesday. I just want to get a specialist to look things over and nip any issues in the bud right away this time.

Thank you all for all the nice comments ... they are much appreciated!!! :)

[Killearn Kitties]

Oh that sounds awful! I hope things start to heal very soon.

[Pam]

Oh Kim!!! I bet the whole time you were reaching for that napkin a little voice inside your head was saying "don't do it!" :D I am so sorry for the big :D but you sound just like me! I think you are right about having someone tie you to the bed. :p I hope you aren't too sore this morning. (((hugs)))

[Medusa]

Did you experience it in slow motion? Years ago, I was walking up a steep flight of stairs in a house that was built in 1865 and my (then) husband and I were restoring it. In the 1800's, nothing was true to size or form and the staircase was winding, too. As I got to the top, I reached for a stupid piece of lint that was on the hall runner and I somehow pitched backwards and went down the stairs. It all happened in slow motion and it seemed to keep me from getting injured. I know that sounds weird but it's true. You must have just gone "thump!"

[phesina]

Oh, my gosh... What a bummer! Especially with a houseful of kittens who will soon all be mobile. Take it easy and give your wounds the chance to heal, and get well soon, Kim!

Hugs and purrs,
Pat and cats

[kimlovescats]

Well, hopefully I will be safer this weekend! LOL! Hubby was so sweet, he moved my computer and monitor right beside the bed. So the only reason I SHOULD be getting up is to go potty! ;)

[CultureJunky]

What a nasty accident, sounds painful :eek:
I hope you get better soon and can get back to doing what you do best, being with cats :)

[kimlovescats]

Well, hopefully I will be safer this weekend! LOL! Hubby was so sweet, he moved my computer and monitor right beside the bed. So the only reason I SHOULD be getting up is to go potty! ;)

Just wanted to add, that I will OF COURSE still be "rolling" out to check on my moms and babies!!! No way I'm going to forget about them!!!! Hubby is home this weekend, so he will be doing the feeding / watering / cage cleaning for me but I still gotta get my loves!!! :D

[rg_girlca]

OMG KIM!!!!! I am so sorry to hear of your terrible accident. I pray that you are not in too much pain now. I know how painful sprains can be.
You poor thing. It's bad enough to sprain one foot, but two at the same time. Big time OUCHIES!!!! Then too fall off your rolling chair, more ouchies.
I'm happy to hear that the hubby was around to help you and make it possible for you to stay in bed. Please be careful and take care and more important, keep those feet up to allow the swelling to go down.

Gentle {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} to you dear friend.

[Rachel]

Kim, I hope you are getting all the fur love that you need to recover. I'm so sorry about your accident(s) and hope that the doctor will confirm that it will not necessitate any further intervention. Now please be careful. Okay?

[lvpets2002]

;) Kim How Are You Doing Today?? I Hope All Is Good & Well..

[DrKym]

Kim as you know I am just now getting up to speed. PM me for new #s Hope you are not in much pain. Prayers and witchyness coming your way and yes I have our boy with me.

I've been thinking about her lately and sent her an email Tuesday night but I haven't heard anything from her yet. I'll let you know when I do.

[ramanth]

[Daisy and Delilah]

Sorry I'm just seeing this Kim. Oh my goodness. This is awful. Take care of yourself and stay close to your bedroom. We don't want you hurt anymore. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

I've been confined almost exclusively to the house for 5 months because of knee problems. If you need tips to combat boredom, let me know.

[Randi]

Kim, I'm so sorry to hear what happened. :( I hope at least the pain has gone away now. Take it easy and heal up quickly! :)

(((hugs)))

[phesina]
