I know it’s been a long time. I had such good intentions this year to keep up, then I got injured, moved twice, and then got really injured.
Four weeks ago Wednesday I fell off a ladder while installing a ceiling fan. I couldn’t have been any more than 2-3 feet off the ground, but in my attempt to jump clear of the ladder I landed awkwardly on the mattress frame and really did a number on my ankle.
I won’t bore you with the details of how we got here, just where I am now. I’m in a removable cast, with which I’m able to walk around fairly well – just not very far. I’m also finally able to sit in a chair like a normal person for an extended amount of time. I’m unable to walk normally without the cast (nor am I supposed to even try) and am still too swollen to fit into a shoe. Training wise I’m limited to swimming, and then only with a pull buoy as kicking is still too painful.
I go back to the doctor later this week to find out if I can take the cast off and maybe start some rehab.
I might be able to do some biking on the trainer, but I’m very concerned about getting my cleat off my injured foot (no way am I going to twist it out!).
Hopefully I’ll be back in a few days with a medical update.
