How to cover an ankle bracelet?

Question

My husband and I were out on our pontoon one night when he noticed our stern light had gone out behind where I'd been sitting on the back of the boat. I moved to the driver's seat while he tried to fix the light. A DNR Officer came up along side us. I'd been drinking. He assumed I'd been driving. Tried to fight it in court but jury believed "Officer of the Law". Now convicted of BUI and sentenced to wear a S.C.R.A.M. ankle bracelet that detects alcohol in my system.

I have no problem not drinking, but it's sooooooooo embarassing to have to wear this "Scarlet Letter" bacelet when I've never committed any crime in my life! Most people have never heard of S.C.R.A.M. and will assume I'm under House Arrest!

I know I shouldn't care what others thinks but it's summertime and I'd rather not spend it in pants. Any ideas for a lady to disguise this bulky thing while wearing a dress, shorts or a bikini?!?

Answer 1

It depends on how long you have to wear it. If it is temperary, you should act like you have a sprained ankle, then you can wrap it and no one will see it. That is the only way, except for wearing pants all summer, because I have seen those things and they are huge!! I am so sorry for you!

Answer 2

There is no way to hide those..they are huge.. Sock will work while wearing a skirt or shorts..you could try an Ace Bandage but then it would just look like you had a horrible ankle sprain-plus you cant go in the water with them I dont think. How long do you have to wear it?

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?
