So for months now I have been dealing with a true "pain in the ankle". This isn't even the ankle that I did a wicked number to on the tennis courts last year. This is the other one. It's been bothering me not so much when I do my Group Ride class in the mornings, not a ton when I do BOSU, but when I just do plain walking, that's when it starts to burn like crazy. Every night it swells up like a balloon too. So I visited the Dr., got an xray - the doc sees nothing. So I go to Dr. Murdock, a podiatrist and he orders an MRI - a spendy deal, but I needed to have something done! So on we went. Dr. Murdock found a bone chip and surgery was scheduled. Last Thursday was the big day. I set up my life for everyone else to run for the next two weeks since I will be laid up.
It's been interesting living my life with basically one working leg. Amazing, really, how difficult it is to take a shower on one leg. And shaving on one leg? It's a talent I am really working on.
Today I went into Dr. Murdock for the post surgery check up. He uncovered the incision - this was the first time I'd seen it - I wasn't going to look at it myself - ick!
Mike just says he'll call me ZORRO from now on. Lucky me! :)
I'll keep you posted!
