23 years of ankle torture

After I came to terms with the fact that my ankle really could be broken, I went to the hospital. Six Xrays and a lecture later, the ER doctor told me that my ankle isnt broken, but that I have “All sorts of stuff going on in your ankle.” I was informed of old fractures and bone fragments flouting all around in my foot. He was dumbfounded when I looked at him and said.. Trust me dude, I know. Im working with 31 year old ankles that have been going through 23 years of skateboard torture.

The verdict is that I have the worst sprain I’ve ever had and is as bad as a brake. I think I’ll be at least 2 weeks before I’ll even be able to walk. I made my own splint and my roommate Mike found this wheelchair on the street weeks ago. Its being put to use now.

So bummed.
