Injury to ankle… AIBU

I went over on my ankle rather badly a couple of days ago and it’s progressively hurting more and more to the point I went to the shops tonight for some bread and milk and hobbled the whole way around. It’s a challenge to walk normally!

I work hybrid, usually 3 at home, one at a second base and one at my office. I have two meetings tomorrow both in the afternoon. 90% of the time my work can be done from home but one of these meetings is always in person, occurs literally bi annually but one of the times is tomorrow.

WIBU to ask to work from home? Office is in a very major city, nobody drives in & so I do various forms of public transport to get there plus about a 15 min walk from station to office - and that’s if you’re walking fast

Surely the timing is unfortunate and I will sound lazy, like I’m just trying to swerve going in on a Friday when I usually work from home but man it hurts! Do I just need to suck it up?

To make matters worse I have a day off on Monday so will it just look as if I want a long weekend?

Any chance you could borrow some crutches?

Can you get a taxi for the walking part?

I think you should get it seen to, either now/tommorrow morning so you prove your off, also it could be fractured
