My ankle ...

After seeing the doctor and getting a partial cast and being on crutches for another 10 days, he took off my cast and had me get a walking boot.  I was told to start putting weight on my left foot while using the walking boot.  Fortunately, my ankle got better and I was only in the walking boot for another week.  The ankle is still a little swollen, but I am able to walk on it, so no crutches or boot for my Europe trip.
