Yikes

Well, even more bad news for the month of January. While I was playin basketball on tuesday morning, I crossed feet with one of the other players when we were both going for the ball. My right ankle decided to roll outward, then twist forward. I pretty much instantly knew I did something really bad to it. Here's some background on my ankles. To put it bluntly, I probably have some of the weakest ankles known to man. I've played Basketball all my life from elementary school all the way through community college. I wear braces on both my ankles. When I played in school, the trainer would tape both of them, Then I would have 2 socks on, plus the braces. I've rolled both ankles twice before atleast. I've never broken a bone, but I'm getting closer and closer to doing some real damage.

As soon as I hit the ground I knew it wasnt going to be fun. Usually, I can walk it off and just not be able to walk for the next 2 days or so. This time though, I wasn't able to put any weight on it what so ever. Now remember, I have no insurance so I'm kind of worried now. I'm really hoping its just the absolute worst sprain you could have without having to need surgery. I was in writhing pain for a good 3 hours before I was able to go to a specialist. I took some x-rays and he came back in and the first thing he said was that i didn't need surgery. Everything after that was pure bliss haha. My diagnosis was a 3rd degree sprained ankle. What he did say though was that I was extremely lucky. My ligaments and tendons have been stretched so far the last few times I've rolled that ankle, he hadnt a clue why I didn't tear both of those off the bone this time. He said another 2-3 inches and I was done. So now I'm in a boot and an aircast for the next month or so. I had to pay for the x-ray and boot but that didn't bother me.

Now onto da pokah. I haven't played any cash for the last 4-5 days or so and have just been playin some small tourneys. I have 2 deep finishes in the rebuy in the last 2 days. 1 of them was when i was stone dead with 482 chips with blinds at 200/400. I actually came back and got 98th or something. I went out in the most idiotic way. I dont even want to put it up here. Hopefully I can make a ft in the next few days as I'm playing really well tournament poker right now. That's all for now, if Lee lets me make a final table this week, I'll let ya know. Good Luck everyone!
