Although a sprain should feel better in a week or so if you try to stay off it. Know anyone with a set of crutches. Happen to have an ace bandage around.... you can buy them at the corner pharmacy around here.

no crutches that i know of nearby, although i am tempted to look into that option, because it really hurts to walk on it, even just in the house. although crutches might be more trouble than they are worth... and no bandage, i know i can get that at the pharmacy but tomorrow is sunday, the one at the end of my street (all the nearby ones, in fact) will be closed, and the one which is open on sundays is farther to walk, so i'll just keep to my ankle protector for now.

Don't leave it on more than 15 minutes at a time tho.....Elevation is wonderful.

thanks for that advice. i'll do that tomorrow though because now i'm on my way to bed. at least it will be elevated in bed, right ? too bad i have so much to do, it's the perfect excuse to spend all day in bed reading...
