I went to the doctor and the doctor said..

no more monkeys jumping on the bed!

Actually, I was growing concerned that my ankle was not showing improvement after doing RICE for two weeks, so decided to check with an ortho.  ALL good news!  It isn't broken....it normally takes 4-6 weeks for this to resolve.  Gave me a brace to wear.  I can put weight on it even though it is painful to do so.  I can go without crutches (if I can stand the pain) or just use one.

The REALLY good news?  I'm not smoking over it and hopefully it might heal faster because of that!

It takes time!  Hope it heals quickly!

I'm so glad you're not smoking! Give it some time, Nancy! Patience, patience, patience! Perhaps your ambulation will be improved with your new cast!

Praying for a quick and complete recovery!

I hope it feels better each and every day! Please take very good care of yourself Nancy!

I know it's frustrating Nancy, you are the get up and go type person but unfortunately your get up and go got up and left you with a bad ankle for awhile longer so deep breaths and keep going but hopefully with at least one crutch if not both but at least you're not smoking over your predicament. YoungAtHeart (((((big hug)))))

So glad to hear it's not broken, whew. You dodged a bullet with that one! Hope your ankle heals quickly!

Hi Nancy great news that your ankle is not broken! Try to stay off of it as much as you can.
