Follow-Up
I went to my general practitioner Monday and got X-Rays done Tuesday on my left ankle. No X-ray results yet. It doesn't feel like it's broken, but my roommate said she fractured a bone once and didn't notice. The doctor, before X-rays, says it's a sprain with hematoma. The bruising is horrific and there's still a lot of swelling, but it doesn't hurt as badly as it looks. I can stand on it and walk a bit, but so far I've been trying not to. At home I'm using the cane, while out I'm using the podiatric boot.
My therapist canceled PT Monday, so this will be the first time he'll get to see it and hopefully give me some advice on dealing with it.
I've set car shopping aside for a little bit to nurse my ankle. At least Civic isn't misbehaving as badly these days as it did in parts of August. Paragon Honda is stalking me by phone and text sometimes lately....
For those who are curious, this is the boot, side and front:
