smudgedragonJust wanted to keep you guys up to date -
Saw the bone specialist yesterday. I'm actually doing a lot better than I thought.
Ankle - Yup, the Dr. confirmed a sprain, but no bone damage. The Air-Cast is off while I'm at home, resting. If I have to go outside - I need to put it on for another week or so, then it's off permanently. I can walk on it for short stints without any pain at all. It's just stiff. For now, RICE (rest, ice, compress, and elevation) is in order.
R. Arm - looks like I have a chip in the small bone in the lower right arm now. Dr. has me out of the cast-like splint and wants me to move it (but not put any weight on it) so I don't move mobility. MAN, does it hurt! But it's a dull, deep pain that I can deal with.
For now - I'm back to work, but will be taking it slow and easy with many breaks to RICE. While it slows me down for a bit, I consider myself lucky to have gotten off so lightly.
