Default MRIs and PT

Got my MRI results today (ankle and brain).

Ankle: I have a torn tendon (no idea how long ago it happened since I have sprained it repeatedly). PT gave me all sorts of balancing exercises to do that will help me compensate. She also broke the news that I can't sit cross-legged (indian-style) any more. It's worsened the stretching of the tendons on the outer side of my ankle and the ones on the inner side are contracting. She also asked if I sat with my foot on it's side instead of flat and occasionally I catch myself doing it (although I never noticed it until MSCherokee posted about it!) I'm really hopeful that with the balance exercises I'll be able to get all of my range of motion back and it will stop collapsing on me. Only bad part is that I can't get comfortable - I always sit on my feet...even at work!

Brain: For the 5th year in a row.....NO CHANGES & NOTHING ACTIVE!!

I couldn't be happier if I tried. I feel very lucky and every year, that big weight of fear that hangs over my head loses a little bit more power over me. I won't see the neuro until next Monday, but he won't have anything more to add really. Big sigh of relief now that it's over.
