So this blog is a way for my friends to keep up with my rehab. It's not because I don't love you all, it's just that I don't want to retype the same information over and over again.
For those who don't know, I broke my fibula this past weekend at Club Nationals. I went up to grab the disc, collided with my defender mid-air, got off-balance, and landed wrong on my foot. I saw an orthopedic surgeon named Cottom in Sarasota who said the fibula is broken and dislocated. He referred me to a podiatrist named Sheffey here in Chicago. I saw him today and we took off the cast I had on. The break is right above the outside of my left ankle. The interesting thing here is that that area looks almost completely normal, outside of a little swelling. The other side of my ankle however, looks awful. Truly awful. It is purple all over and crazy swollen. When I saw Cottom in Sarasota, that side was swollen but not colorful, so he said it was just a strained ligament. Sheffey said he wants an MRI to make sure no ligaments are torn. That appointment is at 1 tomorrow. Sheffey will reassess after he gets the results of the MRI, but said he will try to schedule my surgery for next Monday.
Sorry this post is boring. Just the facts for now.
