Yep you heard it right! I badly sprained my ankle last week. I am so upset and worried. What if it doesn't get fairly better by the time to go!? Disney in August with a sprain!!!! *sigh* Any suggestions???

IMH (no medical training) O, stay off it, wrap it in an ace bandage, stay off it, stay off it, and stay off it. Rest it as much as your lifestyle will allow. Good luck! Think positive-it will be fine!

Oh, I am so sorry. Here is some in hopes that it heals before your trip.

I wish I had seen this post last week....BUT please if your insurance covers it try to get into Physical Therapy(usually they can take you immediatly)....they can have you doing excercises (every day) that will make a huge difference. I was unable to walk or stand last Sept(from a sprain in July) and had a huge trip planned for Christmas. They got me on my feet with NO problems at all...

Thanks!
It has taken a turn for the better. Still sore. Still in an ace bandage. But walking with little pain. I haven't moved off the sofa in like two weeks. But this week I have started the packing and house cleaning and shopping etc and so far so good. I doubt I will be doing the park in my nice new sandles but I THINK I will be at least walking when I go. I am bringing plastic baggies for ice packs. And got info on wheel chairs in case.

Down to the 5 day count!
