I saw Dr. Schuster again this morning. I'm already walking better on my sprained ankle and the pain has decreased significantly. The ankle is still very swollen and I'm going to have to be very careful as I move forward through the cycle. Since my foot is elevated most of the time, I have been taking advantage of the idle time and have been focusing on essays. Now my essays are almost done! When I'm up and about again I can get back to my physical requirements.
