So here they are! The pictures of my wonderfully painful ankle. I met with an orthopedic on Monday-basically its one of the worst sprains he's seen. There is a slight tear in my ligament and he said I would have been better off had I just broke the dang thing. (Thanks doctor...)

So he put me in a boot for 6-8 weeks and NO basketball or running for 4-6 months. (There goes my marathon training and here comes the weight!) But at least I dont have to have surgery...we all know I dont have time for that.



I officially have cankles...


The Bruising starting to form along the side of my foot


The bruising around my inner ankle (it looks like a cresent moon now)

Bruising that starts at the base of my calf and goes all the way to my toes...in a nice little line...

And the boot!

Whoa! I wish I had taken pictures of mine when I broke my foot. It was funny when I first noticed the bruising because I was on a date and was on pain killers and I got embarassed because I thought my toes were dirty!! Then when I was lucid I realized it was just the edge of my bruise :) Ha...sorry, didn't mean to make it about me.
