Visit to Sae Yonsei Orthopedics in Suwon, Review of Ankle Ligament Injury

I really sprained my ankle yesterday while coming down the stairs. There was a loud popping sound, and for a moment, my mind went blank and I broke out in a cold sweat. I thought about just trying to endure it, but since the swelling spread all the way to the top of my foot, I finally went to the orthopedic clinic this morning.
I had an X-ray taken, and thankfully, the bone is fine, but the doctor said the ligament was quite strained, so I was prescribed a half-cast right away. It's my first time using one, and it feels surprisingly heavy and constricting. The doctor told me that if I don't fix it properly now, I'll suffer later, so I plan to stay still.
The most embarrassing part is definitely the shoes. I limped out wearing a sneaker in one and a slipper in the other, and it was so mortifying... It’s no easy task, especially when showering, to have to put on a plastic bag and struggle to keep water out. I won't be able to do the exercise I used to love for a while, so forced rest is confirmed. Everyone, please be careful of sidewalks and stairs, as it can happen in an instant.
