Brace

Jul 10, 2008

A page today. Went to the doctor. I’m still in a brace, and will be for at least two more weeks. If I do the exercises she’s given me then maybe I can get it off then. If I wear the brace I can walk the dogs starting tomorrow. If I wear the brace I can get on the treadmill at low speed. I can go back to the weights, all with wearing the brace as part of the deal. She’d like me to walk in a swimming pool without the brace, but I actually don’t have one of those. Jon suggested the hot tub. It maybe big enough for a little water pacing.

What have I done to the ankle? Simply put, too many sprains and pulls in too short a space of time. Apparently, I have to stop being all guy about my injuries and be more girl. By that, I mean I actually have to follow doctor’s advice and behave myself. Sigh. But I can walk the dogs tomorrow. Yea! I can do weights tomorrow. Double yea! Two weeks of almost no activity has driven me nuts.
