Sigh! I got good news and bad news at the doctor's today. It's been 5 1/2 weeks since I badly sprained my left ankle. Today I was told I needed an MRI to see if there is a tendon that got damaged too. But the good news is that the ligaments are healing. I am still wearing a boot that goes from my toes to my knee, so I am still in limbo and moving slowly. But I am grateful to be on my feet even if it is for short periods of time. My husband keeps calling me a princess which makes me laugh. The nurse today made me laugh because she said since I can't run ( or walk) very fast. at least it is easy for my husband to catch me. Laughter makes it all bearable, I think.

my hugs for you ))) Take care

Glad for the good news!!!!!

Keep those good thoughts going. We are all praying for you! HUGS

I hope you can keep your sense of humor. I am keeping you in my prayers. Let us know when you will have the MRI.

I have been wearing one...they are so much lighter than before.

Be healed! Sounds like some progress, even if slow. Hope your wallet holds up to the medical attacks! Will you do any physical therapy?

Praying for good news for you.

Hoping for good news in the MRI..and keep smilin' too!

Good luck Karen with the MRI - let me know when you are having it and I will pray for you. I had quite a lot of you praying for me when I had mine and I FELL ASLEEP IN THE MACHINE! I hope you heal as soon as possible, there's nothing worse than being incapacitated. Laughter is good isn't, if we didn't, I think we'd cry! Love Chris

Karen, my pastor just left and in his prayer he said, he was thankful I could still laugh. ...so sorry that healing seems to be s-l-o-w for you too.It may mean longer in your boot?.... My daughter goes tomorrow for her check up- Her foot is an air boot/cast is that what yours is? I hope her shoulder is healing, but I'm afraid she has been moving/doing too much. She still wears the arm sling, but like our Carolyn/noah, she tends to still do more than she should...Take care and maybe the nurse hasn't thought...you may want hubby to catch you!!!-lol

They can tell a lot from the mri. Did you ever tell how you sprained it in the first place? If so I missed it and am just curious. Take care

It does absolutely. Hope the MRI says it is fixable!
