Ankle Saga Continues

Close to 10 days after my sprain, the swelling has yet to go down. I talked to the wife of the Middle School principal today. She is a nurse and recommended that I get it checked out again. This time I went to a specialist. He took new x-rays and still found no fractured or broken bones. He said that my ankle was intact and that I need to keep it immobile. So I went into his office with 2 shoes and crutches, and I left with a cast, one shoe, and crutches. He gave me a half cast, just to support the ankle and keep it from being mobile. I will be in the cast for 10 days and then I go back to see him. I need this healed soon. I leave for Europe on June 27.
