I looked at the Dr and told him he must have gone and bumped his head Ihave three kids under the age of four and crutches are not going to work. They gave me prescription and sent me on my way...

I'd stay in bed - don't things happen in 3's?

Hope you recover quickly...

Take it easy! Don't try and do everything, take your little ones through the drive thru. I have three under five, and when they are strapped in the car its nice! Lol

I injured my ankle and damaged all the tendons, I know your pain and yup all thy can really do is give you crutches and maybe a splint. I was on crutches about 2 weeks then I could walk but it was about 6 months before I could be any kind of jogging again and years before I could run without pain. The slighted twist was excruciating for a long time

Yeah.... sounds like a crappy week but honestly there isn't anything else the ER can do for you outside of a boot, crutches, pain meds, and tell you to follow up with your Dr.

I'm sorry for what you're going through, but you aren't actually crippled. I could be a little OSMW about this, but it is a slight peeve to know double amputees who don't refer to themselves as crippled and hear able-bodied who do.

Sorry! I know the feeling. I broke both ankels two years ago and I had three under 5. I suggest a nice long bubble bath, a good book and then bed! Don't push your luck!
