Almost 4 Weeks Later I Am Out Of The Boot And Into A Cast...

Results of the MRI: 2 torn ligaments, 1 stretched ligament/tendon, lots of bone bruising, and a hematoma. Still on crutches and not able to walk. But, I have more Darvocet which is good. It will heal eventually. At least now I know what's going on.

Happy Easter!

And Holy Saturday...

And Good Friday...

Happy Maundy Thursday

Update

I suppose it's been a while since I last wrote. So here's an update.

My ankle still hurts quite a bit - and the doctors are still out on whether it is broken or not. I saw my orthopedic doctor last Thursday and he thought he may have seen a fracture the ER missed... but in the process of getting x-rayed, they did the wrong side of my ankle. Because it was so late in the day, we didn't redo the x-ray. In the meantime, I'm out of the cast like splint you saw in the picture before. I'm now into this high tech aircast boot thing. It came with it's own hand pump and I have to pump air into it to make it fit. It weighs ten pounds (well, maybe not ten pounds... but it's pretty darn heavy). It's still swollen (but defintely not as bad) and hurts. I'm still on crutches and see the doctor again on Monday. The next step is to get an MRI to figure out what's going on. So that's where I stand (or don't stand I suppose) with the ankle.

Weather - it's truly an Ohio spring this year. It warmed up and for about the past week I've worn shorts every day (usually after work). But this weekend, just in time for Easter, we're expected to get some more snow. The last two years in Columbus, spring has always had a brief warm up before a cold spell and then finally warming up for spring and summer. So here's hoping that it warms up after the snow (and quickly). It will make for an interesting sunrise service on Easter morning I'm sure.

Holy Week - I can't believe it's already Holy Week! It's been kind of interesting working around stuff with my ankle - trying to find ways of doing things when I'm not as physically able as I'm used to being. I am looking forward to the ride of the rest of the week though. I hope to post more reflections later this week.

Well, that's probably enough for now. Look for more later.
