So,
21 Days into the injury. I went in last thursday, hoping for the best which is maybe a speedy recovery. I wanted one of those re moveable casts, so I could start having baths, maybe start doing physio, start walking around on my foot, you know, nothing too special.
So, the cast comes off and my ankle is still swollen and bruised and even I could tell it was unstable. I don't know if it is typical of this kind of injury, but they put on another cast and told me no walking on it for 3 more weeks. Oh, and the cast would come off in four and in May they'll take out the screw that is holding my ankle together. AWESOME. Was there any progress? Well, they took the stitches out, but wouldn't wash my leg before the new cast.
So, its been a week, I have till the 14th of March off, two more weeks of not putting any weight on my foot, and then slowly I can start to hobble, then walk.
The pain is getting better, if I don't move at all and spend most of the day on the couch there's no pain at all. But I'm trying to get myself moving around more and doing things, which aside from simply making me light headed and tired ( but still unable to fall asleep right away), it causes my ankle to start hurting, and my toes to get cold. I think its getting better though, I mean, friday I went out to supper and a movie, and the movie was unbearable ( pain wise, though the newest instalment of the Die Hard Franchise is severely lacking) even with pain killers.
I won't really have much of an ability to train till March, I'm just bored, with no one to talk to cause all my friends have jobs.
