Bad Break

Call me a klutz or just having a run of bad luck, but either way, I have a broken ankle after rolling it while walking home from work last night. I knew it wasn't feeling right even after doing RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation) so I went to the ER this morning and they saw a clear break on the X-ray.

It's going to be a few weeks of hobbling around, but we'll see what the orthopedic doctor has to say about that.

UPDATE:
The orthopedist confirms. It's an avulsion fracture of my distal tibia. RICE is the course of action, and I have a boot to wear for the next couple of weeks.
