Sprain your ankle? still gotta unload those toys...
Years ago I broke my leg unloading in the dark. Someone had dug a hole and I didn't see it. I stepped into it wrong and broke my leg right above the ankle (I forget whether it was the fib or tib).
I finished unpacking the bikes on the bad leg and slept badly.
The next day I put it in a riding boot and it felt fantastic. What a relief. We rode all weekend and it felt pretty good in the boot. Sunday afternoon we packed up and drove home.
Monday, I got to work and the guy at the desk across from mine said that I didn't look like my usual self. I mentioned the leg and he asked if I'd had it x-rayed yet.
I finally threw in the towel after limping to a few meetings and drove myself to urgent care.
The doc was pretty pissed when he asked me when it happened. "Oh, Friday evening around six. I guess that makes it about 65 hours ago."
He showed me the break in the x-ray and said he couldn't believe that I had been walking around and riding dirt bikes on a broken leg.
