My Worst Injury
Over last summer, I was at work and went downstairs to switch the laundry. On my way back up the stairs my clumsy self ended up tripping upstairs. In the moment, I didn't really think to much of it as it's very normal for me to be clumsy and hurt myself. After a couple of hours went by I decided to look at my ankle and foot for any bruising. As soon as I took my shoe off my ankle instantly bruised and swelled up. It ended up being so painful that I could not put any pressure on my foot and I actually was in tears from the pain. So of course it was the right foot so I was unable to drive myself to Urgent Care. Then I ended up having my boyfriend come pick me up from work so I could get it checked out. While at Urgent Care the doctor said that I would need x-rays done to see if I broke anything. About an hour goes by for my x-rays to go through and turns out I didn't break anything, I just had a very severe sprain. The pain was still unbearable and I couldn't walk on my foot at all, so the doctors gave me a set of crutches (which was very hard to maneuver). A few days went by and my ankle was completely better with no further issues. That was the closest I have ever become to breaking a severe part of my body. I have broken my toes many times from stubbing them into tables and chairs but nothing really severe, which is a shock for how clumsy I can be.
