INJURY

Well, it was bound to happen at some point...especially after turning 40. Will and I were playing basketball last Friday and I came down wrong or my shoe simply decided to stop, but either way, I heard a crunching sound, looked down to see I was standing on my ankle, then I just dropped. For a moment I thought the worse and figured I'd broken my ankle (I'm a baby, I always think the worse regarding medical things). It nearly took my breath away. Once I recovered, and was able to draw a small crowd to see if I was ok, I hobbled off the court to begin my recovery. I went to see the doctor Saturday morning and he had x-rays taken, from which we have learned there is no great damage-no fracture, no torn tendons...just a high ankle sprain and soft tissue swelling. I'm using an aircast and limp around real good, but other than that, I think I'm ok. It couldn't happen at a better time-while I'm off the road. We'll see how long I can milk this, though I spent Saturday and Sunday doing what I normally do and that is just sit around, so there has been no great change in my lifestyle-phewww!
