Spraining For Success FULL

It was a beautiful day for a jog and Kobe wore her good luck running outfit of a cute shirt, shorts and long socks. Unfortunately she slightly twisted her bad ankle at the worst possible time. A  very important meeting is scheduled with a potential client and he is stopping by her house. She limps to the sofa and starts gingerly feeling her ankle by moving it slowly. It looks like a slight sprain but she does not think that should not be too big of a problem as she performs a few chores before her big meeting.

As she slowly limps around her house, she takes a bad step and twists her ankle even more. It rolls outward and she grabs it as the pain sears through her body. As it weakens with each slow step, she narrates her predicament and is concerned that it will give out at any moment. Kobe takes a seat and rubs it gently, but realizes that she needs to keep cleaning.

It is time to go to her bedroom and she starts hobbling up the stairs and leaning on the rails for support. Just as she gets to the top, her phone starts ringing. Thinking it may be her big client on the phone, she descends the stairs quickly, ignoring her injury. As she reaches the last step, her right ankle rolls outward and she painfully tumbles to the floor. Her hands grasp her ankles and she laments that it popped really badly. 

She drags herself to the phone just in time to answer the client. He can tell something is not quite right, but Kobe is adamant about keeping the appointment and tries to hide the distress in her voice. As soon as they hang up, she grabs her right leg in pain and bemoans the fact that she may have torn a ligament in her ankle.

She tries to put a little weight on the ankle, but it is just too uncomfortable. Time to conquer the stairs again with little hops as she goes to her bedroom. As she collapses on the bed, she rests her ankle gently and removes her left sneaker and sock. She then starts on the right and loosens the laces which are restrictive on her bloated feet. The sock stays on because she does not want to see the damage.

The scene cuts and Kobe is sitting on the edge of the bed wearing a skirt and nice top. Her left foot is bare and her right foot is still in the sock. Crutches sit next to her as well as a pair of mules which can easily be slipped on. The left heel is easily slipped on and she carries the right heel as she uses the crutches down the stairs. 

Her ankle is off the floor and behind her as this is the most comfortable position. She grabs a bandage, places her crutches to her side, and slowly sits down. Painfully, she eases the sock off and talks about how badly sprained it is.

Kobe wants to look her best and really wants to wear heels, so she tests her weight on the damaged ankle a few times. Unfortunately it is just too painful. She grabs her crutches and tries to put weight on her toes and foot, but this too causes too much pressure. 

All of this exertion causes her to sit down and hold her ankle before rolling the bandage around it. She leaves her heels and toes exposed and slips her right foot into the other heel. Out of stubborness she tries standing in the heels with both crutches and then just one. Her movements are slow and deliberate but she decides that her ankle is to badly sprained for the stilettos. She removes the right shoe and ambles around the house until she hears the client at the door.
