A nice bruise






So the good news is that it isn't broken. So the first pic was about 10 min after it happened. I was trying to intercept a frisbee. I stepped on my friend, Tyler's, foot and then I heard a *pop*. I stopped, dropped and literally rolled into a ball. I didn't want to look at my ankle because I was afraid that I really did hurt it- you know the whole "if I can't see you, you arent' there" thing. BUt when I looked, I started to cry because I didn't have insurance to cover a hospital visit. So I sucked it up, had some IBuprophen, elevated it and didn't walk on it. BUt 24 hours later I started to walk on it. Saturday night, Sunday and Monday I was walking on my hurt foot. Monday I went to a free clinic and was able to get a free boot and crutches. The diagnosis was a severe sprained ankle which means I tore some ligaments off the bone, hence the bleeding and brusing. The other pics were taken this evening after a few hours of not being elevated rightly. So it's a little more swollen then normal. Well, now the bruising well start to go away. I think it looks worse than it already is. So that's me in a nutshell. Enjoy and pray for a speedy recovery. Peace.

Hey all, just so you know. It's kinda getting better. the swelling is going down, but now some pain is coming in. I wonder if that's because I haven't been very committed to the crutches? Anyway, thanks for the concern.
