Hope you've had a doctor put a cast on it.

Sorry to hear that. Keep your weight off of it until you're sure it's healed.

Been there, done that, and it sucks. Take care of yourself and don't push yourself too hard, Erin.

I've "danced the sticks" too many times ...

... Not for ankles, but for other stuff.

My good(?) luck was that all my breaks were for orthopedic corrections, so no "collateral damage" that a fall or a car-hit would cause.

If they have you on crutches -

Tripod.

Always be a tripod.

Crutches to the sides (where else?) and your good leg either behind or ahead.

Don't be afraid to "swing through" (between) the crutches with the good leg. Don't 'panic' and stop with the good leg half-way thru. You lose your tripod, and your stability is nearly zero. Not a good thing.

If there are stairs in your life... Well, you might be happier going up and down on your butt.

Take care, heal fast, and do what the Spanish Inquisit -er- Physical Therapists tell you.

You are approaching my ...

... Capacitance for bad puns. (Which is not your Ground Fault...)

I must now seek relief, which I hope is neither unTouchable nor Unobtanium.

Shocking

Sorry, but currently I just cannot resist following up to continue to plug such a series of direct lines.

Also more alternately, feel better Erin! May healing be swift and without too many additional hertz, I mean...hurts! <3

Ohm my goodness

I hope life becomes more Faraday or so from now while we’re Leyden the wordplay get out of hand. Erin, you know we all wish you well.

And, in the next panel of the cartoon . . .

We see Whizzy, drawn in the style of Gary Larson, lying on her back on a couch, her hind legs stretched out, describing her life to a bored psychiatrist. . . .

Never Good

The last thing anyone wants or deserves is broken bones. Takes a while to heal and of course the inconvenience to it all. Crutches are a pain and always in the way getting in and out of a vehicle, house, or bathroom.
Get an apron, the old fashion kind with a big pocket to carry everything in so your hands are free. I can't recommend the knee crutch where your leg is strapped in and your lower leg sticks out behind. Basically walking on the knee but that much leg sticking out behind is worse than normal crutches. Never had one of the smaller utility elec transporters but some of the vets I am around has them. Slow movers for sure.
Lots of different kinds of crutches, hope you find some that fit your need for mobility.
