Anne,

Sorry about the additional complication. For some unknown reason, with this disease, there are at least a couple of clichés that seem to apply as general rules of the game.

1. "When it rains, it pours."

2. "It's always something."

I'm guessing that other members may be aware of other clichés and/or general rules that might also apply.

G'nite -- I hope the sprain doesn't interfere with your sleep,

Tex

Anne,
did you ice it?

Things seem to happen in a string. feeling unwell is exhausting and that seems to lead to accidents of the type you just had.

Rest well!

Anne,

Guess we should look on the bright side. You didn't break anything,right? That's a plus! Have a restful sleep and prop your ankle up!

Had to get it x-rayed - no break luckily just bad sprain. Have ice, strapping, painkillers and the Wimbledon men's final to watch - at least I have the perfect excuse to watch it!!

Anne, it does seem like when our patience is stretched thin and already to the limit, something happens to force us to stretch it thinner. Not much to do other than give yourself permission to sit back and heal (aggravating as that may be).
wishing you a fast recovery.

Sorry to hear about the ankle Anne and Tex is right - when it rains it pours. Hope it is healing and feeling better.

Still very bruised but healing!! Can put full weight through it and while it is stiff it is not too bad to walk on! I just wish I could have a run of good luck for a change! But thank you all for your support!

I hope it heals quickly. Sometimes things seem to pile on, don't they?
