Crippled

Damn. Double damn.
On the way home today I managed to injure my ankle. Somehow, between getting out of the bus and onto the train, when I stepped off the curb I stumbled and heard a crack.
Almost fell over, and immediately felt nauseated.
Quickly, instructed K to get back onto the sidewalk as fast as she could. Then, after putting my 300kg* knapsack next to her, hauled me, myself and I (and my knapsack and Karin) to the bench at the bus stop. Relief. And pain. Ow.
After a few minutes the nausea and the pain subsided some, and I managed to hop, stumble and walk to the train and home. With a bouncy, energetic preschooler. Thank $DEITY that she's been doing better every week about behavior in and around traffic.
Made it home just as J and A were pulling up into the driveway.
Am now sitting on the couch.
With a bag of frozen peas and a pillow under my foot.
Occasionally cursing under my breath.
Triple damn.

*Rough approximation. Objects in the rear-view knapsack may appear heavier than they are.
