On the subject of my sprained ankle
May. 7th, 2012 10:58 amJust in case anyone was curious, it's now been 4 weeks, and this is pretty much where my recovery is at:

(Found somewhere on the the internet)
Jokes aside, the point is that I can do most things, but stairs are still not my friend, at least not without the aid of a cane. Nor is rough ground. And I work best as a human hillclimber algorithm: maximal fitness achieved when going up or down a slope, but sideways doesn't work so well.
I wish I could say I was thrilled with the progress, but I could do most of this (except the up stairs) two weeks after the sprain, so it actually feels like I've slowed down on recovery. Still, things are progressing, and I think I can ramp up my ankle exercises to push myself a bit more!
