Liz Injured at Stroller Strides

Liz had a chaotic and painful day today at Stroller Strides. She was running on some grass during their morning routine when she rolled her ankle in a hole masked in grass. The heard a good "crunch" and so she stayed put while another mom took Anneliese and a concerned Ethan on the rest of the trip while six lifeguards attended. Julie brought Liz' car to take the kids to Gigi's while Liz then drove herself to urgent care. However, our usual urgent was shut down because some idiot near the DMV had driven into a power transformer and the block had no electricity. So, Liz had to go down the road to go to one that of course wasn't in our network and was going to cost more. She was finally seen more than two hours after arriving and kicked out with a nebulous diagnosis and a shiny pair of crutches. Her whole ankle and foot turned a nice shade of purple and was very swollen. This was a real bummer occurring two days before our trip to Denver, Colorado.
