you probably bruised the bone....it will take a long time to heal.
better take it easy for a while. walking on cement is terrible for that...hope you have some really cushy flip flops but you're going to have to keep weight off it and use ice to reduce pain and inflammation. you should probably go to the doctor and get and xray to see if you cracked it!!!
(and you could go to a thrift store and get a pair of crutches cheap! they are adjustable)

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.
So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.
Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.
A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.
Heal your ankle fully & fast?

if you can't walk on it you should be going to the hospital to have an x-ray done, there's a chance you may have fracture
Ankle breaks, or fractures, can occur in many ways: for example, by falls, contact sports and exercise injuries, and force from a blow.

i think you should take care of yourself first. why don't you go see a doctor about your ankle. it won't hurt you to take one day off to see what's wrong. and if there's nothing wrong with your foot, then you'll be a better lifeguard

explain to your boss you can't save lives wth a swollen ankle. if he fires you he's a jackass is there someone higher up then him. he probably won't fire you but he will ask you to bring a doctors slip when you come in I.E have yourself checked out.

Soak it in a really hot tub of water. and rotate it SLOWLY and stretch it SLOWLY for about 15 minutes...after that, only time.
