Happy to hear you are feeling better! I twisted my ankle in Feb. 2006... and it stayed with me until around July.
On a positive note though, I was carried across a small ravine by some firefighters... who were on the other side completing drills that day. I refused to get my $90 shoes wet... so they helped me across. So very sweet of them. They then offered to look at it, but I refused help. I already felt really *dumb*.
I went to the Dr. and he said everything was fine... and gave me some $150 brace to put on my ankle. I couldn't wear it though, because it didn't fit in any of my shoes. That resulted in me sending nasty letters to the Dr.'s office... because they said I would NOT be over $75. They finally settled on $75.
Thus far, your experience sounds better than mine! Although, you didn't have a hot, hunky firefighter involved in helping you back home.
