Ok, it's been 6-1/2 weeks since I sprained my ankle. Feb 1st, ER put an air cast on it. Five days later PCP takes it off, and gives me a boot (sandal) to wear, and it rocks, heel to toe. Not good in combo with my lack of balance.

The next week I start PT. Lots of stretching and icing and elevating. Fast forward to week 5, PCP wants me to see a podiatrist. Swelling still present and lots of bruising still. Ok, I say.

Well, I saw her today, and do you know what she did. Besides, lots of new x-rays, she put in in this "@#$%" knee high boot. And yes it rocks, and is heavy too. It's like having an elephant leg that is longer then my good leg dragging me down.

For how long do I have to wear it 2 weeks, then I go back. No PT, total immobility. It's like I went back to week one. I am wishing it had broke, I'd be out of a cast by now.

Now I'm feeling so disappointed and frustrated. If I could stomp my feet, I would.

There, I feel better. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.
