a grade 2 twisted ankle. No major damage done to the ligaments. So with some rest and some physical therapy I should be back running in no time. I sure hope I have the patients to give it time to heal!

*lol* Of course! But get that out of your head, all it will take is one wrong step and you'll be right back where you started. Your ankle isn't the same and won't be as strong as normal. {{{{{ sending you patience vibes }}}}}

That's great, Pam! Well, not great that you twisted your ankle, but great that it's not worse. Here's to a fast recovery and some Texas-sized patience.

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

Actually, I sprained my wrist snowboarding over the winter, and the doctor said that if I give it the right amount of time to rest, it would actually come back stronger than before because of the healing process. Same thing goes for if you get surgery and the scar is actually stronger than normal skin... {{[[((Big vibes from a little guy!))]]}}

Just for future reference, what are the symptoms of a grade 2 twisted ankle? Pain, slight swelling, for over 6 weeks of running on it? I think i had/have one, too! Funny thing is, it only hurts when you touch one small spot a very certain way, rather difficult to find sometimes, even... Confused

...what is yours like?

Moderate swelling and bruising, if not wrapped or in my new Bio Skin brace it's difficult to walk. If ankle is supported so it can't move lateral it doesn't feel that bad.
