Katie, I"m with you in spirit Girl.....let us know as soon as you can what it is, ok?
Yikes, definately looks like something you should get checked out. (Love the socks
) Sending good vibes to your ankle!
good luck at the Dr. Will be thinking of you until we hear something!
Careful there, some of us have already passed that point and we're not old!!Originally Posted by lunasmom
Awww...perhaps you just stepped on it wrong?
I've noticed that the closer I'm getting to 30, the longer things hurt!!
Good luck at the doctor, Katie. I hope you're there by now.
Katie- did you find anything out at the DR?

well, 3+ hours later, and having gotten 6 x-rays, an ultrasound, a gallon of bood drawn from my arm, and a pee test, no answers! I don't have a clot, and I'm not pregnant
and its not broken or sprained, strained or twisted. My blood pressure on the other hand is through the roof! readings at 198/110, 181/99 and finally 168/101 were recorded
normal is 120/80
looks like I'm going back on meds for that! The doctor just said to keep my foot elevated, keep it iced and take an anti-inflammatory which is basically ibuprofen
hopefully the swelling will go down soon
Well wouldn't that be the way to find out you were pregnant.. by 1 swollen ankle?Originally Posted by katiemae1277

Well, I hope it gets better soon! Did they tell you that you can't work for awhile so you can keep it elevated? Sending {{{swelling go down}}} vibes your way!

I wish! I might call off the restaurant tomorrow night if it hasn't gone down by the morning
Thanks for thinking about me everyone
So glad to hear that you're not any of the above things...but the high BP is troubling, isn't it? Yes, get back on that medication, girl! Hope you take it easy...

Thanks Holly, I just called my mom and told her and she was like "you're lucky they didn't admit you!!" BP that high could cause me to have a stroke, and then she said "we'd have to take care of your animals!!"Originally Posted by wookie130

They probably would have brought all the cats to you!Originally Posted by katiemae1277

I'll be watching I Love New York tonight as well!
I'm glad there's nothing seriously wrong with your foot- but please do keep a check on your blood pressure sweetie. Heart disease is the number one killer of women- and high blood pressure is a precursor to it- so be sure to exercise regularly and eat well now and keep your meds up
Is your leg feeling any better tonight?
hey now, remember high BP is not a good thing.
also remember that holding and petting cats lower that, so maybe you should take a cat to work with you.

I hope it all gets sorted out soon. Good vibes for good health.
