Day three of my ankle sprain. The picture doesn't do it justice, but you can see the outside of the ankle is swollen.
I injured it playing basketball Sunday. Of course I injured it the first game going in for a underneath-scoop layup. After about 5 minutes I was able to walk it off. I limped around for another 3 games before Pen had a hamstring injury. It didn't swell up instantly. However, it did over the course of the afternoon.
By the evening, when I walked from my CHU to the bathroom, I was practically in tears. Yesterday it felt better, but the ankle was still swollen and weak. In fact I fell again, that's number four. I may have fell regardless because I was videotaping the monastery tour and walked into a hole. You'll see the tape when I get home.
So now it's day three. The ankle is a little stronger, but still big. I ice it once a day, about mid-afternoon. It gives me my second wind to move around the rest of the day.
I made the layup, by the way! :-)

When did you learn how to make layups? ;)
Better question, when are going to have your ankle looked at by a medical professional?
It looks pretty swollen. You better have someone look at it.
Gerard,
You probably tore some ligaments. You should have it looked at. Take it from the old man, your getting old and thats all there is to it. Now quit your belly ache-ing and get a kleenex and quit cryin! Your not getting a purple heart by the way.

I think he might get a purple heart, he's been injured 3 times. It could have been more, but 2 of the times he fell on his face did not result in injury. True all the injuries were self-inflicted but it doesn't have to sound that way on paper.
