Ankle Update
Dudes, I am walking around without crutches today!
OK, it's more like limping, gimping, and shuffling around without crutches, but hey, it's a start. I have to be careful not to make any twisting motions and to avoid pivoting my ankle as much as possible (hence the shuffling rather than actual striding), and this amount of mobility is definitely underwritten by lots of ice and ibuprofen, but I just couldn't take the crutches anymore. They're TOO FUCKING SLOW, for one thing, and for another, they hurt my arms, shoulders, and hands about as much as gimping around without them hurts my ankle at this point, so I figured it was a wash.
Which reminds me, it's time for another 600mg of ibu.
