I’ve got about 3 weeks before the new insurance kicks in which means probably another 5 weeks before I can see the doctor.  I have a strong feeling that I am really going to be out of commission once I see the doctor.

My right ankle that’s been bothering me the whole time.  I don’t think it’s my ankle.  I think it’s my achilles.  It’s swollen.  It hurts – all the time.  I’m scared.  It hurts A LOT after basketball.  It hurts after running.

I haven’t done any physical exercise that involves being on my feet for about two weeks.  It’s been over two weeks since I’ve gone running.  On Monday, it’ll be two weeks since I’ve played basketball.  In fact, I told them I couldn’t play on Monday – let it rest another week.  Now I’m thinking I might need to pull out.  I probably shouldn’t have played this season.

I’ve been icing my knee and achilles almost every day.  Sigh.  I’m so sad.

Now I keep thinking back to all the times I kept injuring my “ankle” and still kept running or playing on it.  I think it must have been back to that injury in the turkey bowls.

CRAP.  What if I can’t play on Team United.  SUCK.

This sucks.  A lot.  =(
