Fracture

I got a call yesterday that my MRI final report stated:

Impression: findings consistent with nondisplaced fracture of the distal fibula which may be related to stress fracture.

Lovely...looks like I won't be running or doing any cardio for a while. Guess I'll have to focus on lifting weights for now...get all buff! LOL!!! Yeah, right...;P

I'm instructed to stay off the ankle and use crutches... Nice... Like two weeks of walking around and what have you was good for my ankle...what is a couple more days? Not likely I'll be using the crutches around the house with two dogs and somewhat confined quarters.

Average healing time of a fracture is 4-6 weeks from what I've read. I'm getting an appointment with an orthopedic specialist next week...hopefully Monday.

Going bonkers today...it's raining like crazy...and I'm stuck in the house doing nothing.

Drew is coming over later with drinks and snacks, so I don't have to walk anywhere... He was over last night and stayed, but had a swim practice thingie this a.m...

Hmmm...Maybe I'll get lucky! Don't need a good fibula for that! LOL!!!
