: ( Take Off The Weight Tuesdays will be a Bit Different.....

You'll never guess what happened to me while I was working out today. I was doing jumping jacks and while landing back on the ground my foot bent and I landed on the side of my ankle. "Crack" is all I heard while pain shot through my foot, ankle and half way up my calf. Next thing I know I was on the floor in a silent cry. My son started yelling for his dad and my hub came in. Now I was crying aloud. My husband asked me what happened. I told him I fell and my ankle was broken, since I have broken plenty of bones I just knew it was. He looked at it and said "I'm calling an ambulance". This scared me since I hadn't even seen it yet. "Is the bone coming out?" He said "no"..WHEW thank God! It felt like that though. I started crying again this time it was more and harder than I just was. I won't be able to workout is all I thought. I cried and cried. My husband took me to the ER. Here are two different views of my ankle.

The Doctor came in and asked what happened. He said that it didn't look good at all and he would come back after looking at the x-rays. A nurse came in with an air brace or cast (forgot what it was called) and ace bandage. I asked "what did the Dr say?" he said "The Dr said from what he sees it's severely sprained." I had heard that before a few years ago when I broke my finger (in the same hospital). They called me the next day and told me it was broken. I told him this and he said "it happens". I KNOW it is broken! I have sprained my ankles many times and have broken bones many times as well. He said that they will call tomorrow if indeed it is broken. He then put it in this air brace/cast thing and gave me some crutches.

     All wrapped up! I got home and had a little something to eat. Not too long later I was sick to my stomach and there went my food as well. This is another reason I know it is broken. This is the only time I get sick to my stomach is when a bone is broken, not sprained. They gave me a script for vicodin, but I refuse to take anything especially while I am breastfeeding (even though they say it's ok).

    So back to my post. Take the Weight off Tuesdays is going to be a little different. I won't be able to weigh myself until I can stand on both feet. I will though, let you know how I'm doing as far as eating. I can't do any cardio, but I can lift weights, do crunches and girl situps. I won't start for a few days, since I can't even lower my foot without it hurting like crazy. My husband says I should get that script filled and take the vicodin or Tylenol at least. I will ,MAYBE take the Tylenol, but the hard stuff is out of the question!

Anyways, this week. I worked out 5 days and ate every 3 hours. When I first started working out I only could do 0 regular push ups and 4 girl ones. I now can do 30 girl ones and 10 regular ones!

This is going to be hard and I don't want to give up. Please say a prayer that I will be healed and back on my feet. :) Jacqui at The Ins And Outs Of A Stay At Home Mom & Wife will still be doing Take the Weight off Tuesdays, so be sure to check out how she did this week (tomorrow). Also, we have another fellow blogger who will be joining Jacqui and myself! Casey at Aubut Family will be doing Take the Weight off Tuesdays too! Be sure to visit her sometime tomorrow to see how she did as well!! I just wanted to let you all know what happened and why there will be no scale pic in the morning. I'll keep you  all updated and let you know if they call me in tomorrow.
