Sprained my ankle..or so I thought the other day while playing basketball. It has been almost two weeks and the discoloration has gone away, but the swelling is still there. I didn't go see a doctor or anything, I just figured that since I could walk on it with minimal pain and a slight limp, that it wasn't broken or anything. Been icing it and elevating it every night, but I guess since the swelling is not decreasing as much in recent days as I would hope for, I am starting to get worried.
Walking on it now amounts to no pain whatsoever, but when I stretch it too far up or down I can some pain in that area...hope it's nothing serious.
Looked online. Saw most internet doctors (who have such amazing credibility!), note that some serious sprains can take up to 24 weeks to recover from. The more mild ones are in the 2-6 week range. All I know is that I will feel better when my leg starts to look more normal.
In other news I hate being caged up. I can literally see the fat start to collect in my mid section. I need to try and get on a bike or something.
School starts back up soon too. I am somewhat eager to get this year started. One thing I was looking forward to is this radio gig I am doing. It isn't for money or anything, but for this semester I will on on an actual radio station (college sports radio), and talking sports for about an hour with another person. This is good. Hopefully I will be able to get my writing out, and in the process correct any on air issues I might have about talking on live radio. I am going to be nervous, even though the crowd we will be reaching will not be THAT big, I am looking at it as my first real opportunity and I plan to take it seriously.
So, if anyone wants to critique any of my writing, please do. I promise I won't get too offended!
