Dislocated Ankle
So last week, after a company p*ssup involving much champagne on the top floor of our office, I decided to lose my balance and fall down the top flight of stairs. Result: One dislocated ankle and a whole weeks worth of hobbling and pain.
Needless to say, I decided not to go into work and decided to work from home instead. I was finding it difficult to sit down at my desk at home and work, as my ankle kept swelling up rather painfully during the day. A short trip to the Doc’s later and I was told I was doing all the wrong things. Apparently, I needed to:
i) Raise my ankle above the level of my torso.
ii) Get an icepack on it
iii) Compress the swollen area with a bandage
iv) Above all, stop putting my weight on it!
Taking this advice literally, I decided to re-arrange my home work area as above. I was lying on my bean bag when I took this shot. V comfy!
The ankle is now nicely healed, and swelling has gone right down. So remember, kids, next time you drink too much champers and fall down a flight of stairs, remember to apply RICE
