With some passing of time since yesterday's update, I am finally ready to admit that my sprained ankle was not directly caused by the Iowa State football team failing to make a bowl game this year. It really just came down to me thinking I could play recreational basketball like a 20-year old with my 30-year old not-very-conditioned body.
I found that I had some trouble walking this morning on my bad ankle, probably due to not having kept it elevated while I slept, but fortunately one of Amy's coworkers was kind enough to let us borrow some crutches she had on hand. These were very useful today to help keep the weight off that ankle, and I also found that after spending the morning and afternoon icing and elevating my foot, that I had a much easier time getting around, even without crutches. I will keep using them on and off though so I don't stress things too much. They sure beat having to crawl to the kitchen for breakfast!
