Well, I did it. A "RNS" ... really nasty sprain ... to my ankle, but thank goodness the x-rays say not broken.

I'm doing the obvious ... icing inside (ben and jerry's) and outside, rest, splint & crutches, vitamin I, and elevation. But, I would really appreciate any advice on how to return to full function (and, of course, to 'cross racing!) as quickly as possible ... without sacrificing long term health, of course!

I'll be under the care of a great physical therapist, but I wanted to post here to get ideas from other people who have "been there".
