Holy Swollen!

I was woke up Friday morning with Dave asking if his ankle looked a bit swollen...he hobbled on over, took his shoe off, and was in a little bit of pain. Yep, it was very much larger than his right ankle. How did he manage doing it you ask? Well, he plays basketball really early every Friday morning with a group from work, and this particular morning he landed down hard on some other guy that was just in his way...he will be out for a while, to say the least.

Do you think I could find an ace bandage to wrap it with? NOPE!! After a really early phone call to Marci she hooked us up. So he wrapped it up and off to work he went.

This is what he came home with...a very bruised and swollen ankle, with the swelling travelling up his leg. If he weren't so stubborn he would go get it checked. All he says is, "they can't do anything with it until the swelling is gone anyway." He said he will go on Monday if it isn't better. I remind him that Monday is a holiday, he smartly replies "then I will go on Tuesday." Yeah, Whatever!!

Okay so say Monday or Tuesday it isn't better, do you really think he will go to the doctor? He probably wouldn't except for the fact that this coming Saturday he will be leaving for Singapore for a week possibly a week and a half! I don't think it will be too much fun hobbling around an unfamiliar country. Let's just cross our fingers that all the ice and heat, and keeping the kids off of him this weekend will help the swelling, and he really won't have to go to the doctor next week!!
