I can't believe my luck . . . bad luck, that is. I am out of the hard cast for about 4 weeks, the foot is improving, and what do I go and do. I sprain and fracture my right ankle! I will be in a plaster splint for at least 3 or 4 days. Then, hopefully, the swelling will have gone down to the point where I can go to just a regular ace bandage. However, the long term recovery is going to have to do with the soft tissue damage in my ankle region. The fracture itself was very minor. Basically, as the soft tissue pulled away from the bone, it took two bone fragments with it. This was enough to increase my diagnosis from just a bad sprain to a sprain with a fracture. To top matters off, I also wrenched my left knee, so walking on crutches is very difficult. At least this time I won't have to be on the crutches for so long. Of course, after leaving the emergency room a little after 11:00 last night, and having had no dinner, we grabbed a quick bite at Wendy's, and I did not select the lowest calorie items needless to say based on my calorie count for yesterday. Yesterday was not the morning to give into temptation and buy a coke from the vending machine.
