So I sprained my ankle...

Arnica gel (from the health food store) will take the swelling down. If you're as graceful as I am, you might want to try growing comfrey too. A poultice made from the leaves will reduce the swelling and discoloration pretty quickly.

Yeah, they said that.

Oh well, I'm hobbling around like a pro now. May even take Cricket on our daily walk that we haven't taken all week. (Although I'll have to sneak out so Hubby can't stop us)

The only thing I can grow is Lilies. that sounds insanely odd, but I kill anything else. I am the biggest klutz in the world. This time though it wasn't so much my being klutzy as it was my ankle just gave out from under me.

Trust me, the comfrey is super easy to grow. I have mine in the vegetable garden, otherwise the chickens would strip it's leaves.
Do give the arnica gel a try. It's good for sore muscles and stiffness when you've overdone it.

You know, my mother came so close to using Grace as my middle name....

What a hoot that would have been.
