My first cast

I fell.
There were no fluroscent warning step lights, the lecture hall was dark but I went down to help the doctor to help her switch back on the lights and I tripped over a double stair. I got a grade 1 lateral ligament sprain with a little bone bruising.
Generally, no one gives a heed to small falls like these but an ortho prof. told me that I needed to go the hospital becuase of the bone pain.

'Look out for the Ottawa guidelines or something for pain'

The cast was placed and a 3 weeks heel period was given.
