So as you probably know (from yesterday's ball hockey incident), I now have an ankle problem and a limp to go with it.
For the whole day, my foot was aching in pain and at the 1st opportunity of getting home, I took my work colleagues advice and used "RICE" to repair myself. Not the starchy rice that your probably thinkin' of, but R.I.C.E - Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. ;)
I did have a plan to go to the gym and just use the machines and bench (thus avoiding any use of my feet), but thought it was best (and smart) just to stay in and get some much needed rest so my aching ankle can heal faster. The faster it heals, the faster I can get back in the gym with full force. So I popped 2 Ibprophen, placed some "Deep ICE" on my black/blue sprained ankle, compressed it with a tight ankle brace and elevated it. Overall, I have to say thank-you colleague....It's working!! =)
So, I got plenty of sleep today with all meals within my caloric intake and looking forward to tomorrow. I still have slight limp, but I should be ok for some weight training tomorrow....
