Did you know I was gone?! Sorry for being MIA...I drove to GA last week, then up to St. Louis to visit family, then back to GA, and then back to Biloxi today. Phew! I'm tired just typing that! This baby will be more than prepared to be a good traveler on road trips! :) And my left ankle definitely disappeared somewhere along the way on this mega road trip (not sure why only one ankle swelled up?!)...so if you see it, let me know! Ha!Now I'm busy unloading my car from the trip, doing laundry, and cleaning the nursery out b/c some of the furniture is being delivered tomorrow! But I'll check back in soon with details & pictures from the trip! Hope everyone is having a wonderful week! :)
My guess is that all of that ankle pumping on your right leg (from driving and breaking) kept up your circulation, while your left leg just hung out and...got bigger! Just do some ankle pumps on your left (moving your foot up and down), elevate it, and massage your ankle up toward your thigh to relieve the swelling... Sorry, can't turn off the PT in me! (Your hubs probably could've told you all of that anyway!)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kate! :) My hubby was actually on call when I made this lovely little discovery, so I appreciated your suggestions since he wasn't home to help! I knew enough to elevate it, but I did the ankle pumps like you suggested and that definitely helped! And now I have an excuse to get a foot rub tonight! :)
