Right ankle injury!

 Thursday RUN 3 miles in Fo Pa with LA, BE, EW

A few commutes, two runs this week for 6 miles - then my right ankle injury. I was sitting on the floor with the dog with my feet in full plantar flexion. I went to stand up, and couldn't. A sharp pain and my foot felt stuck. I thought it was just my usual "foot pops out" thing and tried to get it back. But after a few minutes of trying - no luck. 

Within an hour I was stubbornly on crutches to walk the dog, determined to get my 10K steps in and I was only in the low 7000s. Turns out the Garmin doesn't count crutching as steps. My streak blown. 

As if my 10K a day streak was more meaningful than my right ankle. It swelled up overnight, was remarkably painful to touch or move, no weight bearing at all, so off to the orthopedics clinic for x-rays.

Result: FINDINGS: 3 views of the right ankle are submitted for interpretation without comparison. The joint spaces are normal. There is no acute fracture. There is heterotopic ossification right loose body at the lateral anterior aspect of the tibiotalar joint. There is mild pescavus.

I haven't looked all that up yet. It's been days since this happened, and I've already had the MRI. So fast-forward read to that I guess. 

Saturday and Sunday - I was in a boot. In the morning the joint was super stiff and it didn't fit in the boot, but over a few hours it would loosen up to where I could wear the boot properly and be more comfortable.

Monday - Thursday - improving, around Wednesday I could lightly stand on it. By Friday I could walk a few steps without the boot, yay!
