update on the ankle saga

can't a girl catch a break, ha - no pun intended. seriously though, i like for my blog to be funny, so i'm not going to bore you with the long drawn out story, but know that i went to the doctor yesterday. the good news is that it is not broken again. however, after hearing what it possibly is, i think a "simple" break would have been the better news. they are pretty sure that i have done some sort of damage to the ligaments in my ankle joint. to what extent, they aren't sure. i will have an MRI next wednesday, and then a follow up the following thursday. if there is significant ligament damage, more than likely it will require surgery. the surgery has a pretty lengthy recovery time. six weeks in a cast and no weight on that leg (crutches).... then a walking boot for six more weeks... 12 weeks total recovery, whew. just pray that it doesn't come to that. enough of the depressing stuff.

me on crutches could be a whole blog in itself... i hate those freaking things. when i had knee surgery almost three years ago, i wanted to throw those things out the window by the time i was able to put weight on my leg again. they are a hazard to my health/well being. i think they make me more likely to fall, and as you all know i am somewhat of a clutz, haha.
