How to learn to walk again…101

So the story of my life goes like this: always two steps behind.  And it’s true.  I am always late.  Although contrary to popular belief, I have been working on it, and do make a conscious effort to overcome whatever it is that makes me want to be late rather than early…except of course on Tuesday morning.  I was all late and trying to go at fast speed.  Tried to go fast down the escalator and managed to sprain my ankle.  Awesome.  This is what to do about a sprained ankle: 

 

1.      Eating fish is bad.  I’m not sure why, I was told that it just is

0.      When your ankle is sprained, you walk a lot slower.  This has its up sides: being forced to slow down makes me be more aware of where I am; I am much more aware and appreciative of my body; and I got to ride a motorcycle (a woman stopped and gave me a ride J)

1. Apparently your foot’s insides mirror your hand’s insides. So if you sprain your ankle you should   massage really hard into that spot on your hand that mirrors the spot on your foot.

 Don’t worry, it is much better now.  With a brace on I can walk pretty normally and it has been really good to s-l-o-w down.  Everything moves very fast here…except me and…well as far as I’ve observed, I think just me 😛  So it’s all good.
