All was going along just swimmingly....I was doing prenatal yoga, and deep water aerobics. I was walking the dogs, and feeling pretty energetic in my 24 week of pregnancy. And then, on a hike on Sunday, I slipped on a rock, fell forward and twisted (to avoid falling on my belly). The baby is fine. Still kicking away in there.
But my ankle is broken. At the lateral malleolus of the distal fibula. I'm an invalid, in pain, and not having much fun. If this is supposed to be a lesson in how to be patient, and how to slow down once the baby comes, it's a good one. And one I'm not feeling very receptive to at the moment.
The crutches make me nervous. I don't want to fall again, particularly being pregnant and because I only have one good leg to stand on.
Unbelievable. Can I have a do-over please?
