Saw the Orthopedic Surgeon Today

Well, I finally took some action about my sore ankle, and probably should have done it before. They took some X-rays and said those looked good. No fractures, at least. I didn’t think it was anything like that, anyway, but I’m no doctor, so I’m glad I got that confirmed. They said it’s been bothering me so long that I need to try physical therapy to strengthen my weakened ankle. So I got a prescription for physical therapy--I didn’t even know you got prescriptions for that. I also got a prescription for some pain medication. So we’ll see how this goes. In the mean time I guess I’ll keep doing what I’m doing--modifying for lower impact and lighter weights for lower body.

In other news, I have much more energy today and though I woke up feeling pretty crummy I’ve been feeling better and better ever since. Of course, I didn’t take any cold meds last night before bed, so I think that actually helped. I’ll be back later to blog about my great workout today.
