I went home safe and feeling very bloated from our night in Poblacion. Personally, I don't like drinking that much and it's been months since I drank an alcoholic beverage. I couldn't sleep properly, too, since I was burping like hell. I really wondered how this would fare with my gout and hyperacidity, but I just took a Kremil-S before sleeping. Sunday was supposed to be a day where I'd go out and exercise, which initially felt good because I would lose some of the calories I gained earlier morning. I would be walking my usual trail with my sister and her boyfriend would be tagging along. I was also extra cautious of my steps because last time, my heel rolled itself, but it didn't turn out bad. As we passed Bayani Road, I thought it would be safe since the trail would be generally smooth from here on out at Lawton Ave. A few minutes in, as I was unfocused and adjusting my music, I tripped on a recessed part of the concrete which had a manhole on it, and I rolled my ankle pretty bad. I instantly knew I was a goner because it was not just a simple ankle roll, it rolled hard and putting my foot down hurt like hell. I hard trouble getting on the Angkas ride home, but my sister and her boyfriend assisted me. What annoyed me was that the Angkas driver dropped me off a bit far from my house, and it was the furthest I've ever been dropped off. I walked home and a lot of people noticed that I was injured, which seemed pretty weird because they knew my nickname even though I didn't know theirs. It was a grueling march towards my bed but I was successful and propped up my foot on some pillows. My uncle also came in and was kind enough to lend me his family's ice pack. But I still felt like crap. I mostly just browsed IG Reels and passed my time on my phone with my foot propped up. In the evening, my sister gave me dinner and she actually broke the ice pack by twisting it incorrectly and the top couldn't be sealed anymore. This just made things really horrible for me because all the ice had melted and I couldn't ice my sprain properly. I fucking hate how horrible and tragic this day went and I have anxiety from suffering a sprain this early in my new job. I cannot stress how fucking bullshit this day was.
