I know most people don’t want to listen to me complain, so don’t read this if that’s the case. Thanks to everyone who has asked about my ankle and helped me out. I just have to say this is a total change to my life, both temporary and permanently. In not being able to do anything I sit on the computer, and I did a little research on ankle sprains as serious as mine. It wasn’t to exciting to find this out: "Spraining an ankle can increase your risk of re-injury as much as 40-70%." and "An ankle sprain can decrease your ability to balance on that foot and makes it easier to roll the ankle again." and "Injured ligaments can take up to 16 weeks or more to heal." and then to wonder how long it will take before I can actually walk on it without crutches and not have it hurt like hell and read this: "If your ankle isn’t 80% functional after a month, contact your health care provider." Needless to say it isn’t close to functional and it hasn’t been a fun week. As most you know I’m an active person, I like to go out whenever I can, and having friends invite me out and having to deny it sucks. All I want is to get back to where I can walk, so I can do things for myself again and not have to ask Krissy or my roommates to help me. Ok, I feel better. A picture of what it looks like recently is below, it’s disgusting I know.
On a lighter note my roommate was in the paper today. He’s a bus driver for NIU, and I took a picture of him. You can see it here<\/b><\/a>. The last picture below is a comparison to the ‘boot’ I have to my roommate’s size 9 shoe. This boot is huge, I asked if it came with a motor, or wheels or something, haha.<\/p>\n
