When I woke up this morning and took a few steps, my ankle felt normal (as in, the same as the other ankle) for the first time in quite a while. That seems good, or, even if it's a fluke, at least non-bad.
I've been diligently wearing the boot, doing my stretches, and eating my anti-inflammatory diet. Yesterday I had another dexamethasone treatment with the physical therapist, and my homework is to go swimming two or three times before my next session on Wednesday. The idea is to get my ankle moving in a very non-stressful way. She said that next week, if it's feeling a little better, she'll start having me do some gentle weight-training exercises to strengthen the ankle.
My goal this weekend is to stay off it as much as possible and ice ice ice.
