Impress me with your injuries.

[Kitsa]

I guess my recent exploit belongs in this thread. I was backing off my in-laws' front porch, preparing to leave, and I stepped on the edge of a piece of concrete. Lost my balance, put my other foot down to catch myself, ankle turned, heard a snap, down I went.

I brushed it off as a sprain but I heard from the doctor today that it's an avulsion fracture (the tendon, instead of tearing or ripping, just pulls free of its moorings, taking the bone it was attached to with it).

I wouldn't say I'm in a horrendous amount of pain and the swelling isn't that bad. More than anything, my ankle just has a floppy, unsteady feel to it, like I'm about to turn on it and sprain it at any moment.
