Default What's up with Darkness???

No good news, I am afraid...

I tore the outer ligaments in my right ankle thursday night...
I came home from work at about 10 pm, and I simply (half-)missed a step when I left the subway station. I was able to limp home, but by the next morning the ankle had swollen to about twice its' normal size and it was mostly bleuish and red in colour...
A trip to the hospital later proved I fortunately had no broken bones but I am now walking with crutches (sp?) and I am not supposed to put weight on it for 10 days (check-up date).

I hope I am not making a 10-year ritual out of all this (I tore the PCL in my left knee playing football about 10 years ago)...

I reckon this will not be a good weekend for me...

No driving or working for at least a week (may 29th check-up date).
Official (hospital) walking without crutches estimate is about 4-6 weeks. I'm guessing 3-4 weeks. it already feels a lot better and I already tried to put some weight on it (I know, I am stupid/stubborn) and that went much better than yesterday.

@Rik: I'm looking at the fish more now, definately. I've got some new (very pretty, IMHO) ones, so I should post some pictures soon. I reckon I'll have time for that now. But I really need to clean the tank first, so that may delay things a bit...

Thanks for the support guys!
