Frozen Peas Come to the Rescue

Slip down the steps and need an ice pack in a hurry? Here are two ideas:

Grab a bag of frozen peas from the freezer to apply to the ankle.
To make your own cold pack, place 1 part isopropyl alcohol to 3 parts water into a zip lock freezer bag. With a permanent marker, label the bag, Sprain Pack, do not consume. Double bag to prevent leakage and lay flat in the freezer. The alcohol will keep the water from freezing solid, making a soft, cold pack when needed to treat sprains.
