So the swelling, soreness, and purpleness in my foot are actually just a bye product of the damage I did to my calf 1.5 weeks ago at rugby practice.
Doc figures Quantico just did some more damage to calf and that the bleeding from that damage is just settling in my foot.
So it is back to RICE for me, getting a big bucket tomorrow so I can just put half my leg in there, and going to start wrapping it at night.
The keys here are…
- I was right not to worry.
- Having a student health services where you can see a sports medicine doc with about 2 hours notice is AWESOME
- I now have a clearance to start riding and rehabbing my calf/leg/ankle. Exercise will just help the built up blood get out of there faster.
- I have to focus on TP, ice, and elevating this thing so it can heal and I can really start to rebuild.
So here is hoping this is my last injury for quite some time… after all I have a mountain/volcano to climb in a few months and I can’t be the weakest link on my rope team. Whoops. That’s another announcement for another time.
