Ankle woes...

My personal activity level may drop off for the next couple weeks. Why? Asky my ankle. Last point of the last volleyball game on Monday night. Went up for the middle block, they hit around me (getting the point and winning the game), and I came crashing back to the ground. My ankle rolled and I've never heard/felt such a big crunch in my life. Luckily I didn't come down right on top of it. I was able to collapse and take the rest of my weight on my ass. Still, it took a few seconds for the others on the court to realize that I wasn't pounding my fist on the floor because we lost the game.


The healthy right ankle

I guess there really is no good time to have something like this happen but this week was especially bad. What do I miss?

- squash tonight
- hockey Friday
- snowboarding Saturday
- first Golddigger-hockey playoff game Sunday
- first company-hockey playoff game Monday

I guess I should just pray that is all I miss. It'll depend on what the x-rays show for cracks or breaks. There are a couple of bonuses though. I got to work from home yesterday (and by work I mean answer my emails and a couple hours of spreadsheets). The rest of the time was spent catching up on my seasons of Lost, Family Guy, and Scrubs, and breaking my front door. Here's a funny image for you guys. I decided around 11:00 that I should go get an x-ray. Calgary got 6" or more of snow Monday night. So I get dressed up (except my hurt foot with a tensor bandage holding on an ice pack), go outside, lock the door, and start the van. There is A LOT of snow on the vehicle so I grab the brush and start hopping around the van on one foot in the snow clearing the car. I get in, call dad to give him the update, discuss things a bit and decide that the best idea is to not be out on the roads. So I get out of the van, hop up to the front door, unlock it, and then pull out my key along with the whole locking mechanism. At least the door is open now. Had to call the landlord (who'd missed work due to a morning car accident). Ugh...tough day all around.


Hurt Ankle: Day 3


So for now I'm going to take it easy and not put any weight on my ankle (yes, I'm on crutches) because every time I do, several things "pop" and my ankle instantly swells up. If doing this means I'll be back on the ice a week earlier, it's so worth it.

PS: I have pictures, maybe I'll post a few.
