Glad it's winter
The only bright side to my injury today is that it is not good riding weather anyway. I was coming out of the back porch after installing new kitchen cabinets at my brother inlaws house and I stepped half off the side walk. The next thing you know my tail is rolling on the ground and it sounded like a 22 went off in my left ankle. After I stopped saying words that I have not said in years, and I checked to see that no bones were sticking out I was finally able to laugh a bit. My dang brother inlaw was now rolling on the ground as it was a pretty funny sight.
I am now sitting here icing the dang thing and it looks like someone put a dang baseball in my ankle. It is going to be a long couple weeks. All I can say is I am glad its not 80 degrees cause I would be a lot more upset than I already am. Things could have been a lot worse.This is one that isn't going to kill me, just slow annoy the crap out of me.
No pitty party.... just nothing else to do... [:'(][:'(][:'(][:'(][:'(]

Sorry to hear about your accident. I did the same thing a few years ago. Playing with my dog and tried to take a sharp left turn. Left ankle sounded like a piece of celery breaking. It took a whole year to heal completely. Hope yours is faster.

Joe, you may want to have an X-ray. Here's why:
Last Sunday we were at our get away place in Virginia and getting ready to come home. I was taking a couple of bags out to the car. Stepped off the sidewalk on to the parking area and then my right foot slid out. Left foot was still on the sidewalk and bent back in a most unnatural way.
After I laid on the parking lot for a few seconds saying a few choice words, I managed to get up and was able to move my ankle. I figured I just twisted it and would put one ice on it. We drove home 3 hours and I laid down and iced it while the wife ran a couple of errands. The thing had blown up like a ballon and was feeling like a club at the end of my leg.
Wife came home and we went to the ED just to make sure nothing was too bad. X-ray came back and, yep, broken ankle. Luckily, I don't need a full cast (air cast) and no surgery. However, will take about 6 weeks to heal.
