Bad Times

So I've thrashed pretty much every bit of connective tissue in my left ankle without actually breaking or tearing anything. Even my achilles hurts and that never happens. I'm finally going to be a good girl and follow the doctor's orders. No nothing for 3 weeks. That means no running, jumping, dancing, and even walking should be avoided. I've got it braced and I need to ice it, but I don't want to get up right now. After 3 weeks in the brace, I can start rehabing it slowly and ease myself back into my regular activity level. Running short distances, one dance class, that kind of thing. I pretty much will have to start from scratch and that's upsetting. I guess I can keep strength training and doing upper body work, but it won't be the same. *pout* I also need to invest in a Bosu ball and those suckers aren't cheap. Of course, neither is surgery to repair torn ligaments and tendons because I didn't take care of my ankle the first time.

*sigh*
