Re: How was your week? Feb. 12 Edition [Dr. Tigerchik]
Glad to hear you're getting back after it SoCalTriCurious - I hope you can find some permanent resolution to the issue!

Jeebus Scheherazade, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I hope it was just a fluke thing and you're able to get some peace of mind about his health.

My week was going great until about 2pm on Sunday. 4hr trail run on Saturday in lots of fresh, still-falling snow was tough but pretty. Finally got out snowboarding for the first time in 5yrs on Sunday afternoon, and was having fun until I bailed hard and tore my right ankle - which is supposed to be the strong one - to frigging shreds.

This week has been a lot of sitting on my arse, soaking my foot in cold water, seeing my amazing osteopath (who was fortunately able to see me Monday evening and made me much more comfortable - I go see him again tomorrow after work), and small victories: tiny ankle circles & toe taps, seated wobble board exercises, being able to stand on one foot long enough to put on my underpants without sitting down. I'm finally ditching the cane today as I can walk normally without pain as long as it's very slow and with short steps - I can also execute a slightly higher-speed hobble pain-free, and even managed a short walk with hubby last night.

Swelling is drastically reduced today and the bruising - which was pretty mild - is subsiding as well. Had almost none of the morning stiffness to which I'd been accustomed when rising today, and my range of motion is probably about 80% back now. My optimistic goal is to be walking completely pain-free by the middle of next week and perhaps try a short run next weekend.

So, I'll just pass the baton to Tri3 for the 100 in 100 and see if I can actually get back up to 30min+ runs before the end of the challenge!

Edited to add: Valentine's plans were to do the belay course at a local climbing gym to introduce my husband to top rope climbing, but that had to be rescheduled due to my idiocy. Instead I made us a Thai feast and we went for a short stroll, which was still pretty pleasant. Belay course is now Sunday, February 25th...assuming I don't eff myself up any further!
