  • Did the same thing years ago. It was huge and black and blue. X-rays showed that I only strained it (no actual tears or tissue damage), but I could almost walk on it. It hurt, but I have a different tolerance for pain. I got a neoprene ankle brace with a splint in it and wore that for about 2 months afterwards. It was about 4 months before I was running again.

    Now, having said all that, go see a doctor. You may have damaged it differently. There are a lot of bones and tendons in your foot and they all need to work properly for you to walk, so get it checked out. You might be out a few hundred dollars, but if you can’t walk in 40 years, you’ll probably wish you’d done it. Even if it’s bad, there’s a good chance you’ll be just wearing the same neoprene brace this summer.


  • I feel like, at least in America – and it might be just my part of America – we feel like our hobbies have to make us look better. I can’t just take photos, they have to be really good photos and I should look into selling them. You can’t just like to make cakes, you have to make amazing cakes and do it for friends’ parties. There’s not enough emphasis on just do something you like because it makes you happy. This doesn’t have to be a competition. It doesn’t matter if your shit is abysmal as long as you enjoy doing it. Have fun!


  • You could look into being a driver for Cisco: they supply a huge number of restaurants. Might give you connections that you could parlay into working for a different food distributor as either a driver or salesman. I also knew a guy who power washed businesses, like the exteriors. Just showed up and washed the outside walls. I had no idea this was a thing. I think he had to do it overnight though, so might be potentially dangerous in certain areas.
