I got the boot yesterday, WTF!

No I didn't get fired, but it might have been just as bad.  I went to the ortho dr yesterday about my ankle follow up after the MRI. It showed no sigificant damage. I said "why does  my ankle hurt wen I get on the tm or walk any distance. His reply was "I am not sure" UGGG!! so he put me in a boot( see pics in profile) for 3 weeks and then if my ankle doesn't get better I have to c an ultra special orth ankle dr. ohhhhh joy!. NO tm or high impact exercises for aother 3 weeks. I am allowed low impact such as the elipticaI, recumbent bike and regular bike, can I tell you how much I hate the eliptical and when I go to ride my bike it freakin rains..    But I am as happy as can be right now cuz I don't own an eliptical machine......... more to follow in 3 weeks

Hi Tom!  Love the boot, so stylish with your new jeans.  Just kidding.  Sorry that this is happening now. I know I hate everything that stops me from exercising because I don't want to lose any time while I have my tool at "full strengh".  I love the picture of you and your grandaughter. You'll be chasing after her in know time.  She is adorable.  I can't wait til I can babysit mine.  Couldn't do it before because I couldn't run after them or go up and down the stairs easily.  Now I can.  Let us know how you make ou.

I'm sorry you got the boot!   I know that makes it difficult to keep your exercise regimen up!  I own an elliptical.  I got it off of craigslist.org.  I got it for a fair price.  I don't care for it much but I do use it.  I record my fav shows and only watch them when I am on my elliptical.  It gives me incentive to get up at 5am and hop on! 
I hope you are better soon!

Thanks for the words of encouragement.  I gotta tell you. I think I have peace with the dreaded beast. I went to the gym last night. Way to many people for me to work out ( one of my paranoia)
so i got on the elipitical and got over 33minutes for the first time in a long time and had some fun doing it.  could this be the end of the world, wen all things are in harmony?

I got to be honest, i didn't put a lot of trust in the boot. Like why should I wear it if my ankle didn't hurt? I got my answer yesterday. While getting ready to work outside, my ankle flared up, limped in to get the boot and baam, instant relief after putting it on. Now I am a believer.. I wish i could wear it at work. I think it would go good with my purple bikini
