Good advice. We often do a quick dog walk in the evening. With it getting dark early and big acorns and walnuts on the walk, it is treacherous. catgirl on "Remember to look down when you're walking" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-to-look-down-when-youre-walking/page/2#post-1079698 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 02:34:57 +0000 catgirl 1079698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh Shannon!  Just read this - so horrid.  You are joining in good company here at YLF.  Too bad it's not the right kind of boot!  Robidi on "Remember to look down when you're walking" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-to-look-down-when-youre-walking/page/2#post-1079547 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 23:32:45 +0000 Robidi 1079547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So sorry about your injury...hope your recovery goes well!

Please take it easy in this weather. I know you really want to get back to exercising but please make sure you are along the correct path to recovery that is without straining the ankle. The cold and our joints/ligaments don't like each other so staying warm and keeping your legs and feet warm is going to be really important too. Thinking of you.

Diana & Mo - yes, it's those lasting effects that I worry about. But I know how valuable physiotherapy is as it totally rehabilitated my knee to the point where I could run again so will be going to the same PT as soon as I'm cleared to start. Suz - yes to the fish oil! I never skip a day.

I'm glad you got medical attention and are on your way to healing.  We will help you get the footwear/clothing sorted!  My new black booties are made for high-volume feet -- I wonder about something like this with what would normally be an "ankle gap" on you might work.

I did something similar when I missed the bottom step while walking downstairs in our house, and spent 5 weeks on crutches and wearing a boot (avulsion fracture - completely torn ligament). Yes, we all need to look where we're walking. It's amazing how one little misstep can cause such injury and misery. I wish you a swift recovery. donnat on "Remember to look down when you're walking" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-to-look-down-when-youre-walking#post-1078903 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 13:28:15 +0000 donnat 1078903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Awwh!

I am so sorry! What a nuisance. I hope you are not in too much pain right now? OY!!! I can't tell you the number of times I have thought this was going to happen to me -- just twisting my ankle on a bumpy sidewalk or something....I've been lucky so far. But i did injure my wrist/hand with during exercise (my own fault) a couple of years ago and I must say it took a very long time, even with physio, to get back to normal -- but it pretty much IS normal now. And the not-normal that it was for a while was not too bad...it was the first few weeks that were the worst. Keeping it moving in gentle and approved ways is really key, and keep up your fish oil, baby!!  I just hope it doesn't snow too soon.  Alassë on "Remember to look down when you're walking" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-to-look-down-when-youre-walking#post-1078874 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 12:55:51 +0000 Alassë 1078874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, I'm so sorry, Shannon!

I did something similar at a fencing tournament about 10 years ago. It still complains sometimes and forecasts the weather for me now! Do follow up with physio after you are cleared to go without the boot. It really helps and you'll want to get it as strong as possible. Thinking of you!

I've been a bit sporadic myself on the forum due to workload and yesterday was my first bit of proper time on YLF, I missed your outfit.
