I'm Limping For Her

On Friday night, Miss K tripped over the wooden beam that surrounds the outside planter.  She tumbled over on her side and scraped her ankle.  There were a few tears, but she bounced back quickly and resumed her normal level of play for the rest of the evening.

When she woke up on Saturday, the foot that she had scraped was swollen to twice its normal size and purplish/red in colour. I immediately freaked out and was positive she had broken a bone in her foot.  Miss K didn't complain at all and was able to walk on it, so my mind was a little bit at ease.  Still, I felt I needed to take her to the walk-in clinic.  A quick trip to the doctor relieved my fears...not broken, likely just sprained, and to keep icing it so the swelling goes down.  Shortly after we got home, Miss K came clomping out of her bedroom with her hot pink high heels and proceeded to jump around the kitchen. Yup...definitely not broken!

The sight of her poor foot makes MY foot ache!

Her outside ankle has completely disappeared

The swelling starts just below her toes and extends up past her ankle.
And, yes, those are my hot pink Crocs you see in the lower left corner.  They NEVER travel further then the end of our driveway (unless Miss K bolts down the sidewalk and I have to chase her).
Please don't judge me :)

The strap on her sandal barely does up!  Have a I mentioned how bad I feel for her?!?
