Crutches my ass!!!

Aight homies. Quick update. Regular doctor called yesterday freaking out, said he looked at my X-rays and I have a bad sprain with "joint instability" (whatever). "You need to get off your ankle immediately". So, I sat down. He instructed me to go get crutches and had already made me an appointment with the orthopedic man. Keep in mind that this is a 2 week old injury, right? Using crutches when you've been walking around on something seems really silly and is super annoying, but I tried my best all day today to do so. Well, good news!! I went to see Dr. Bacastow (?) and he said that yes, indeed, I have a severe sprain because not only did I tear the usual ligament that tears during sprains, but I also tore another one. In addition, I am having nerve irritation, which explains why I have tingly toes and loss of feeling in parts of my foot. He said that's due to the swelling. Blah blah blah. This blog is boring. The good news: no crutches and no weird braces or casts because of my nerve issues. The bad news: loooong recovery (6 months full recovery, at least 4 more weeks of doing nothing).

Did I mention that I ran a 10K in 56:16 on a "severely sprained ankle"? ;) I'm so humble.
