I workout every single day for approximately an hour. I keep myself in good physical shape by including strength training, high impact aerobics and stretching. I am careful about my diet, make sure to get enough sleep and drink plenty of water. While my peers have dealt with various surgeries, I’ve remained fit and healthy. A little over eight weeks ago, during my exercise session, I stepped on a hand weight. My foot slipped out from under me, and I fell. I rolled my ankle. My ankle and entire foot immediately turned purple and swelled up. I was unable to put any weight on it. The pain was severe. I am unwilling to take prescription painkillers due to the potential side-effects. I don’t even like taking over-the-counter Advil. I am fortunate to have access to a cannabis dispensary that provides delivery. Although I was laid up on the couch with an ice pack on my foot and ankle, I was able to navigate the dispensary’s website. I chose a combination of tinctures for fast-acting effects, edibles for longer duration of effects and topicals to apply directly to the injury. It was easy to add the items to my cart and complete the checkout process. I filled in my information and opted for delivery. Because I placed the order early in the morning, it arrived on my doorstep that same day. I simply needed to hobble to the door to retrieve it. Cannabis has been extremely helpful. Unfortunately, the pain from the injury hasn’t completely gone away. I can’t run, jump rope or perform any exercise that puts too much impact on that foot.
