AT FIRST IT HURTED A LOT,SO I WENT AND TOOK A SHOWER AND GOT READY FOR A LOCAL TRIP TOWARDS THE HOSPITAL/ER ROOM AND WHEN WE GOT THERE I HAD TO WAIT AT THIS POINT I COULDN'T EVEN WALK SO I FIGURED I MIGHT OF BROKEN A BONE OR SOMETHING I GET THERE I FIND OUT ITS A SPRAINED ANKLE (GRADE 2 OR 3) THEY DID NOT REALLY TELL ME MUCH SO I COME HOME AND ICE AND STAY OFF IT FOR A FEW DAYS AND NOW I AM DOING DOWNHILL SKIING AND MY FOOT/ANKLE DOCTOR SAID IT WAS FINE FOR ME TO SKI ON AS LONG AS I HAVE A PERSONAL TRAINER WHO CAN DO A FIGURE 8 TAPING. AND NOW THIS IS WHAT I AM REALLY CONFUSED ABOUT...
