Yoyo Brett Favre and his re-re-return to football...now last shot at glory corrupted? |
To say I'm sitting here cooling my heels is a bit of an understatement. Since spraining my ankle last week, I've come to learn the injury is going to more difficult to mend. After the weekend, the pain and swelling returned with avengance. I didn't overdo anything, but I didn't exactly elevate my ankle or ice it. After talking with my wife on Monday, it was obvious I needed to be aggressive in treating what appears to have been a ligament tear. My foot is bruising beneath the ankle bone, according to her. I really can't tell with my low vision. The swelling came down after taking some Alleve and keeping a frozen bag of veggies under my Ace-wrapped appendage. I still manage to stress it and feel sharp pain coming from the top right side of my foot. But better now than it was when my middle toes had numbed from the stiffness. I had hoped to be back on the court this week, or at least doing yoga. Now, I will wait another week. Maddie's sitter had to fly to Florida for a family matter, so I've had no time alone. Can't recuperate or write much, but I'll just bide my time like I always do. Life keeps throwing me these curveballs and all I can do is keeping fouling off these tricky pitches until I can find one to hit out the park. Yeah, I need to work on my writing. |
