My Ankle

For about a week I nursed my ankle and missed Karate cause it had swollen up so much after the game that I basically could not get my shoe on. After about one week and after a quite few nights of icing it I decided to see a Doctor. He looked at my ankle and took some x-rays, Yep it was broken but it was only little stress crack right on the ankle bone. When I saw the crack I was a little embarrassed cause well ... it is a little sissy crack. Seriously maybe less than 1 cm and just a hair thick. The doctor reassured me that I was not a sissy cause it looks like I have significant cartilage damage to my ankle and I would need physical therapy to get it right if I was in a hurry to get back on the field, which I defiantly was. He also asked how I broke it before? What? The doctor pointed to a large fussed crack a bit up from the one I just made. "I don't know.." I replied I remember hurting myself on a pretty regular basis in the Marines and after I remember taking a spill or 17 on my Mt. Bike but I really don't remember breaking my ankle. The doc said it looked like it happened about 10 years ago.... I still have no idea. What ever he has me on the road to recovery with some physical therapy and pain killers. I hope I can start getting about soon though cause I already gained back the 5 kilos I lost from Karate and I am sure I will gain some more in the weeks to come if I am not excersiceing.
