Feb. 10, 2015 - The Boot

After 2 weeks of walking around on a swollen and sore ankle, I decided it was maybe time to go in and see a doctor.  After a pretty thorough exam and study of my x-rays, Dr. Atkins was pretty confident that nothing in my ankle was broken.  Good news.  He did however say when I do something I really do it.   It looked like the 3 ligaments that run along the outside of my ankle into my foot as well as the muscles surrounding them were all pretty damaged.  So.....he gave me a boot to wear for 4 weeks!  When I'm not in the boot I have to use crutches until I care bare weight with relatively no pain.  If it makes my ankle better, I'll wear it!  So meet my new accessory for the next few weeks.
