Throwing shot on Saturday, feeling decent, getting ok distances but feeling a lot better about the R leg turning and getting the hips through. Started to put some more speed on it and on my last scheduled throw of the day, drifted a little to the left, reversed my R foot right on the far left part of the box and rolled my ankle pretty hard. Felt a good pop but could put weight on it. Of course, it swelled up and I've been battling the swelling over the past few days. I have been doing a lot of voodoo band compression and elevation which has helped quite a bit overall but this thing is still pretty bruised and puffy. Ottowa ankle rules say that I probably should get an x-ray, so I did that this morning and am still waiting to hear back on the results. My fear is a posterior tibial fracture which may mean immobilization for 4-6 weeks. Shit. Hopefully not, but I saw the x-ray and I would guess I either have an os trigonum (rare) or a shepherd's fracture (also rare). We'll see what doc says, hopefully no surgery.
