Nope, not there yet. I keep hoping, but nope, not yet. I was hoping to be up and back to the old routine within 2 weeks, but no such luck. I guess my doc was serious when he told me that they put David Robinson on the 14-day DL when he had a similar ankle injury. Derek keeps telling me I need to be "realistic" about when I go back to the old routine again. But having said that, this is the worst injury I have ever had, so how can I be realistic when I have nothing else to compare it to?
I did finally manage to drag myself into the gym today. I suppose I was probably a bit depressed because I sure have been moody lately and all I wanted to do was sit infront of the TV and eat. Not that I could have done much else, but I was sure feeling quite down about my ankle. The whole time I was at the gym, I felt like I was walking around in slow motion. I biked for about 20 minutes, lifted weights, then swam a few laps. Mind you that I am not a good swimmer, so it was challenging enough as it was. On top of that, I don't have goggles, so I took my contacts out before hand. Talk about blind leading the blind! I was a bit tenative at first because I was afraid that the water would put too much pressure on my ankle when I was kicking. Once I figured out that it didn't hurt, I got going for a few laps.
It felt good to sweat and breathe hard again. I just hope that this doesn't end up being a golf-only summer...
