Poor Daughter #1. She fell down at sport day on Friday, at the school and came home with her elbow looking like a softball. She couldn't move it hardly at all so Teapot and I felt she should go to emergency and have it checked. It is not broken... thank heavens... but it is in a sling for the next little while and she has to ice it and take anti inflammatories. The poor kid. I feel sorry for her. She looked quite miserable when she got home. So yesterday I took her with me when I went to get groceries. She wanted to go shopping and so did Daughter #2. We had a great time shopping though I did not find anything that I really wanted. Neither Did Daughter #2, but Daughter #1 found a few things that she liked. We went for lunch at a Chinese food restaurant and had a lovely day. Still it was quite dreadful for me after the first hour since my foot had doubled in size. This swollen ankle is starting to really worry me... I'm thinking that it is swelling for more than just treadling. After I am on my feet for a while things get really bad and it starts to look alarming. The weird thing is it is only in one foot so I'm pretty sure it is swelling because of injury. I'm just not sure what the injury is. My father thinks that it might be a fallen arch.... but I can't remember doing anything to it.... so now I am thinking that this has gone on long enough.... and I guess I will have to bight the bullet and go to the doctor. Hmmm..... and what worries me most is how on earth I'm going to get through fibre week with a gimpy foot. Usually we walk across campus to our classes ... but I can't see how I'm going to be able to walk that far with my foot this way. Sucks to be me.... but then fibre week is still a few weeks away so maybe it will be ok by then.
Today I am going to be plying the first of my 150 hour project yarn... I'm looking forward to seeing what it will be like. It should be interesting.... but for now I am going to have some breakfast with the Daughters.... Teapot is away on a camping trip with the Junior Canadian Rangers.... and I am going to be taking very good care of my foot. In the meantime Daughter #1 has just come into the sunroom and said that her elbow feels much better and the swelling is down quite a bit this morning. I am so glad it is not broken... now if I could just sort out this ankle of mine.
