Day 1, post sprain
I am so sad. I cannot run. I am even having trouble walking right now, so I’m not even able to take the babes out for a slow stroll. The pain is acceptable if I keep it wrapped, but the limp is making my gait all wonky. Whine, whine, whimper, whimper.
Day 2, post sprain
I have been able to get in the pool for the last couple of days, and the cold water has been pretty helpful. I wasn’t able to really swim yesterday, as H decided he wanted to get in as well. Since he doesn’t know how to swim, I simply carted him around the shallow end of the pool on a kickboard. He’s making great strides with his holding his head out of the water, and kicking. I have got to get him in swim lessons! He desperately wants to jump off of the diving board.
So I’m going to keep attempting to get in a swim each day, and keep working on my ankle flexibility and strength…and keep loving on all of my babies, big and small.
Happy running, y’all!
Heal well and quickly!
Thank you! Hoping for pool time later. It really seems to help.
