I am such a freaking klutz!!!!

[moosmom]

MooShoo and I have a daily routine. When I get home from work, weather permitting, I tak him out in the backyard for a little fresh air.

Well, tonight I was carrying him down the back stairs when I fell (5 stairs). The first thing that crossed my mind was, "Okay, do I break my fall and drop the cat or what??" As I tried to do both, I saw MooShoo fall as I also fell.

MooShoo is fine, but my right foot is all blue, swollen and sore. I immediately put ice on it, so I'm hoping that did the trick.

I sat in the yard kissing MooShoo all over asking him to please forgive me!! He's fine. As a matter of act, he's laying on my chest as I type.

I should've known the kind of day I was going to have when I got a speeding ticket on the way to work, and then proceeded to fall walking UP the stairs at work!!

That's it, I'm staying home!!!!

I hope your foot/ankle well be ok at least nothing bad happened to you or your pets thank goodness. Well I hope your foot/ankle will heal up soon .

[davidpizzica]

Oh, Donna! Sweetheart, I hope your foot/ankle is okay.I'm a world-class klutz at home, too. (stubbing toes, missing a step, etc.) {{{{HUGS}}}} & kisses to you!

awww poor ankle Donna! Hope it is feeling better and you are able to sleep! Glad Moo was not hurt and has forgiven you

[moosmom]

Everything is fine. I was fortunate enough to put ice on it right away. It's probably going to be a little discolored, but for the most part, it's fine.

MooShoo is okay. Sleeping like a baby. I'm just greatful that nothing happened to him.

When I'm being a klutz, I have to be REAL careful that I don't fall on my left knee. If I damage it, I'll wind up being operated on again. Once is enough!

[luvofallhorses]

Gosh I hope you're okay and that your ankle feels better soon! ((hugs))

[DJFyrewolf36]

Sorry about your cruddy day!!

Glad Moo is ok and has forgiven you. When I'm Klutzy around the house and step on a wayward tail, it takes forever for the two brats to forgive me!

Being the ankle specialist right now (have my ankle brace now for 3 weeks and need 3 more ):

First: ice is good. And if it's very much swollen then it's better most of the time than if it only a little swollen. It may only be a sprain.

If today you have the feeling soemthing could be broken- you'll have to see a doc for an Xray.

It can be a ligament rupture (like mine). Then it would be better to see a doc- but you also could do the following: tape your foot from the middle of the foot to over the ankle (imagine a ski boot without toes ). Maybe you could buy a brace (www.aircast.com). A doc will not do more- they don't do surgery anymore on ligament ruptures. And of course: no high heels for six weeks.

Driving and working should be fine and after the first week it should hurt significantly less.

Plus: try not to limp but to roll your foot properly. Just do anything as slowly as you need it.

All the best - and of course MooShoo was fine

- He's a cat

Hope you have a klutz-free day today

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

Sounds like you managed to avaiod a serious injury!! Glad both you are MooShoo are not TOO much the worse for wear!

Be careful!!!

[furrykidsmother]

Donna I hope you are feeling better and that the swelling has gone down. I hope you have a better day today! Glad MooShoo is OK!

[moosmom]

Barbara,

Ice was the first thing I put on it. It helped the bruising substantially. I just bruised my foot. Nothing is broken or sprained. I'm fine, just a little embarassed.

I did a head-to-toe inspection of MooShoo today and he's also fine. As a matter of fact, he's nagging me to go outside again. Talk about a glutton for punishment!!!
