owie news
My GP called this morning. Apparently I've knocked off two 3 milimeter pieces of bone -- one from each side of my ankle. She has no idea how I've managed to do that but one came off with a wrenched tendon and one with a ligament. Right at the moment, there's nothing stabilizing my ankle so we're heading into the city this afternoon for a lace-up ankle brace. Theoretically cooler than an air cast and much easier to walk in.
Six weeks to heal.
Given that the pain levels went from an 11 out of 10 on Sunday night (I got morphine; it was disappointing, didn't live up to its advance publicity at all) to about a 2 for the last couple of days, I was feeling pretty good before I spoke to the doctor. Now I'm all paranoid.
At least the car, unlike the house, has air conditioning...
And bright side: since my internet access is still really limited, I'm getting a lot of writing done.
