Bum Ankle

We’ll my ankle has swollen pretty damn good. And has turned a funny purplish color, the bruising is bad enough that the blood has started to drain down to the bottom of my foot.

The plan was to not skate on it for a few days and let it rest. So much for a good plan, today at work, Ed suggested we go skate another empty lot near work… so what does an intelligent (give me the benefit of the doubt) nearly 30 year old professional do… I skate. I was smart enough to wear my old Protec kneepad on my ankle. Worked like a charm, didn’t hit the bruise again, but man did my ankle tighten up. I was walking with a limp for the rest of the day. And I have to say the ankle is a little bit more purple now.

I’m really glad I am skating again.
