"The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis.' One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger - but recognize the opportunity."

Injured ankle

Well I finally injured myself from the results of the stroke. With my lousy balance I tripped over a storage bin. My ankle swelled up and was really painful, so my parents had to come get me up. I iced it, wrapped it, assumed it was just a moderate sprain. Finally, after a week, it was much less painful, but it was still quite swollen and very bruised, so my mom insisted that I go to the doctor. Good thing she did! I had several chip fractures and a torn ligament. So now I'm stuck in a walking boot for four weeks and I have reverted back to using the walker :-( It's annoying because it has put PT on hold.
