Went to the dr today for x-rays today. No broken bones! Grade 3 (severe) sprain, left ankle. It's in an air cast, and will need rehab, *possibly* surgery, depending on how bad the torn ligaments are. Going to orthopedic specialist next week and will have CAT scan. Other foot has mild sprain, in an ace bandage. All wounds are dressed and cleaned, and I'm trying to learn how to use crutches, and not very successfully!
Other than that, I'm great!
Thanks for asking.

Hey, look at it this way: No breaks, AND you get to learn a new skill!
I sprained this same ankle 2 and a half years ago. Since then it's always been prone to swelling, never got back full stability. The doctor told me a previously sprained ankle is more susceptible to future sprains. I may need those "crutch skills" if that's the case!
But TWO freaking sprained ankles, now??? My "support" foot is wrapped in an ACE bandage, so crutches aren't really doing me too much good... I'm a "walking" punchline for some bizarro-world joke.
I should take an updated pic of the bad ankle. It's about twice the size that it was the other night. You know when a doctor who's been dealing with "ice accidents" non-stop for the past 48 hours raises an eyebrow and says "That concerns me." it's not a pretty sight.
Kind of in a Vicodin haze at the moment... not complaining!

Yeah, both ankles injured, not a good thing! And I thought it was bad as a teenager having two sprained wrists simultaneously... yeah, feet are a bit more critical to functioning!
LoL on the non-complaint!
I unwrapped, took off the brace, took pics holding my cam right down there, and they're horrible. I have ankles like the 800 pound woman!!!! (Well, the "bad" one, anyway. The other looks like the 400 pound woman.
Vicodin makes me alternate between whining and bragging about my feet...
