My ankle is still not right. It's slightly swollen still and hurts when I move it certain ways. I am able to walk on it, but I think that this might have prevented it from healing properly. Either that, or the doctor misdiagnosed it and I've done something worse (torn ligament or something of that nature) in which case, I'm screwed more than likely.
Because of this injury, I didn't train for almost a month. The first time I went back was this past Wednesday, and even then I didn't do too much. I pushed it a little further on Thursday, which caused me to have to sit out for about a quarter of the class & help the others.
Then, there was Saturday. I shouldn't have been training at all on a still injured ankle. However, when the visiting master says (and I quote) "I want to see what you've got", there's no way I'm taking that as anything but a challenge. So, I dressed out, warmed up and proceeded to "test" with all the other candidates for about 2.5 hours. Big mistake. While I don't think I injured my ankle even more, I can definitely feel the side effects of training so hard after an entire month off. I've definitely learned my lesson and will be staying off of it as much as possible until it is healed and I get a clean bill of health. Then, it's game time, which hopefully means back to the gym at least 4 to 5 days a week.
Until then, I will have a rather uneventful blog. My apologies. :(
Take care! :)
