Take Care Shueli!

Dear Shueli, hope your ankle feels much better now. But it is greatly recommended to go to seek professional help from the doctor instead of trying to fix the problem yourself ok? Well, thw whole class wish you a speedy recovery ;) Anyway Wednesday is a short short day so you don't come tomorrow ok? Just rest at home can already...

How To Protect Your Injured Ankle...
From eHow.com

STEPS:

  • Rest the injured ankle - in fact, stay off the leg as much as possible.

  • Ice the injury immediately, applying an ice pack for 20 minutes every hour until the swelling subsides.

  • Compress the injured area with an elastic bandage to reduce swelling and immobilize the ankle. Wrap from the foot toward the knee, and be careful not to wrap so tightly that you cut off circulation.

  • Elevate the leg above your heart.

  • Use moist heat once swelling in the area has subsided.

  • Begin using the ankle again gradually as pain decreases.



TIPS:

  • It's sometimes difficult to tell a fracture and a sprain apart. See a doctor if pain and swelling do not subside after three days of self-care.

  • One day off your feet can get you back in action faster than limping around for a week on injured ligaments and muscles.



Warnings:

  • Avoid using heat while the area is swollen - you want to reduce blood flow to the area, not encourage it.

  • ***Shueli don't limp ok? Dangerous.



Be a good girl and get some rest. Play more games to kill boredoom =)
