I was out in front of my house on Saturday, just practicing a few hops
on my 29er. I lost my balance (not unusual for me) and came off to the
side of the uni, landed on my right foot and the ankle rolled over with
a sickening "crunch." Hurt like crazy. I laid there for a good 3
minutes, writhing in pain and saying, "ohsh*t, ohsh*t, ohsh*t" over and
over again. By the next day it was still hurting and it looked like
somebody had surgically removed my ankle and implanted a baseball in
it's place so I decided to go in to the clinic and see if I had broken
it. The good news is, it's only a sprained ankle. The bad news is
that the doc said not to do anything that might re-injure it for 2
weeks. So, I've gotta try to stay off the uni for a couple of weeks and
be sure this thing heals OK. Man, it's gonna be hard, being as
hopelessly addicted to this thing as I am. I know that many of you
have injured yourselves worse and have been out of commission for
longer times but it still sucks. Lately, I've felt like I'm really
improving daily and I hate to take even one day off.
