Have you thought about doing some simple rehab exercises, to help re-strengthen the ligaments? It's pretty important for a full recovery!Anthonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-59258908811752776902010-11-15T21:47:44.880-07:002010-11-15T21:47:44.880-07:00The last time I did that I was surprised to find t...The last time I did that I was surprised to find that I could ride quite a bit without a problem, but walking normally was a challenge for weeks. I never tried the ankle brace thing, though.

Rootbeer, on the other hand, is delicious! <br /><br />Hope your ankle feels better soon, try to keep busy while you heal. :)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01212228308225991239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-63572806735380263642010-11-15T15:18:29.018-07:002010-11-15T15:18:29.018-07:00You might feel better knowing that research shows ...You might feel better knowing that research shows you can sit on your a** for at least a week before there is a measureable decline in performance.

Hope you heal fully soon!pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660580579772048690noreply@blogger.com
