To add insult to injury, while playing ultimate frisbee tonight I pretty badly hurt my left ankle. Good Lord it hurt! I was down for a couple minutes, then some guys from my team helped me off the field. Everyone clapped when I got up. Old school.
Dave was watching our game and drove me to the ER at Overlake Hospital. Ali and Geeven drove down and brought us Chinese food and monkey cake. It was a happening room 11 at the ER, let me tell you.
To make a long story short, the doctor thinks I have a pretty severe sprain and that I may need a screw put in my leg to hold my bones together while the ligament heals. He said this was not like 95% of sprains that happen when you roll your foot one way. He thinks I rolled the other and may have a syndesmosis tear. In any case, I have to follow up with an orthopedic surgeon on Friday or so.
I hope this doesn’t affect my cancer treatment too much. Bleh. This is how they get you!
On that note, I have a CT scan scheduled for Thursday. lol. How absurd.
Thanks Dave, Ali, and Geeven!
If you would have called me to drive you to the ER, I would have told you to "walk it off"… right Ali? 😉
holy crap…this is not your month!
