Ouch.Ankle,Half day off.

Sometime during last shift.
I began to have a dull ache in my right ankle .
WhenI awoke for shift change,
standing was difficult and Walking HURT.

My ankle was swolen to the size of a ripe Grapefruit.
I went to see my Doctor
who ordered X-rays and discovered
Nothing !
so he prescribed an anti-inflamitory
and told me to keep it elevated and Aply warm packs.

I was very concerned and thought that i would end up off of work for a couple of days
(which would be a big financial hit and throw my school schedule into a frenzy)
(and Cause me to fall behind in clinical time)
These thought dominated my mind
And motivated me to get well fast!
I only missed eight hours of work.

When I went in it was a light schedule
and we really didn't do much.
I was able to keep my leg up for most of the shift.

Only had two calls and
I believe I slept the whole night.



Good Night.
