Busted

Busted, Dianne's ankle that is. The gory details of an akle fracture:

"Occasionally with an inversion injury that would normally cause an ankle sprain, a piece of bone can be pulled off. We refer to this as an avulsion fracture. Sometimes the ligament actually is stronger than the bony insertion point and an avulsion fracture will ensue. Often these can be treated conservatively either in a walking boot or an Air Cast. A more significant fracture may be treated with a cast or surgery. The bone usually fractured here is the end of the fibula which we call the lateral malleolus."

Remember that post a month or two ago about Dianne's corporate athletic adventures where she sprained her ankle? Well, the ankle never got better, so it was good bye to the general practitioner doctor and hello to the area's renowned podiatrist. A new prognosis, and now a cast.

Anyone have a deal on half price shoes, preferably right feet only?

Next update in three weeks after a follow up visit to the doctor.
