Ankle Update
Nothing broken! Just sprained, and recovering nicely. The orthopedic surgeon (an Englishman, yet!) recommended I keep doing what I've been doing, and he'll see me again in three weeks at which time he'll refer me for physical therapy. While it's still a bit wince-inducing, I have been able to put weight on the foot for the first time in five days, and the news of no breakage is even more encouraging. Oh, and good call, Andante, the doctor recommended the air brace too! Robin's already placed the online order. Now it's off to pick up our new eyeglasses; even though I'm still using the crutches I'm much better able to get around, and I think I might even try the walking stick at home this evening...
