My Boss Was Sympathetic About My Sprained Ankle
In the next few paragraphs, we will explore new ideas and thoughts about having a sprained ankle. Hopefully that may help you achieve your goal and decide what is best for you.
I consider myself lucky because I have never broken a bone in my life. I hope I’m not jinxing myself by saying that, but Ive said it before with no incident. I have had my share of problems though, and one was a sprained ankle that stayed with me for a few weeks. Though that is preferable to a break, it was somewhat of a huge problem for me when it happened. I had gone to a concert with a few friends at an outdoor venue, and stepped in a hole as I was walking. The result was a pretty nasty sprain and a whole lot of pain.
Though many can get through a sprained ankle with minor irritation, I had a huge problem. I lived in the suburbs but rode a bus in to work each day. I should say two buses, because I had to get off and board a different one half way there. This made it very hard to get around. I could not put any weight on my sprained ankle so it took me forever to get on and off the buses. I found that people seem to have no patience either. They seemed to have very little sympathy for my pain.
We have just reached the tip of the iceberg, as the remainder of this article will help to further your understanding of this complex subject.
It was better at work because I answered the phones. I did have other duties though, and those included quite a few trips around the rather large office I worked in. My boss was sympathetic about my sprained ankle, but I wasn’t one to shirk my responsibilities. I hobbled around the best I could and did my job. I wasn’t really looking for glory or praise; I just didn’t want to be confined to my desk because of a sprained ankle. I allowed some help, but I don’t like feeling like I am earning money when I’m not doing my job.
I think the fact that I am so stubborn slowed the healing time of my sprained ankle. In retrospect I realize I should not have been so stubborn and I should have accepted the light duties so I could heal faster. At the time, however, I just wasn’t thinking clearly. Perhaps it was the painkillers I was on, but I’m not sure. I suppose the next time I get a sprained ankle I will take it easy. Then again, some people just never learn. I know I’m a klutz, so I am thinking it may happen again, but I don’t work in an office any longer. It’ll be much easier to take it easy.
