The first injury

It's official - I am stupid!!!

Today, I went for a lovely 1 hour cycle up and down Gold Creek Road, and even managed to get Kev to join me. Got home and decided to take Louie for a walk. Stepped off my very own garden path and found myself lying on the ground in agony!

I have twisted my ankle and grazed my knee! Wow is me!
I lay on the ground, trying to be brave while calling "Kevin" in my pathetic sad voice and being jumped on and licked by an excited Louie. I could hear Kevin at the side of the house, but he obviously could not hear me. After about 5 minutes of this, I decided that I need to drag myself into the house or perish of heat stroke and dehydration - it's 30 degrees by that time of the morning! I managed to hobble inside and get my leg up with an icepack on it.

It's not as bad as I initially thought - it hurt so much when I fell down, I thought it was broken! I'm able to walk on it without limping and I'm sure the swelling will go down in a few days. At the moment I being a good girl and following the RICE thing: rest, ice, compress, elevate!

But I'm feeling really stupid!
