Injuries Suck!!

So I know first hand that is really sucks to watch someone else get or be hurt. But it also sucks to sustain injuries yourself.

Last night I managed to mess up my own ankle. It's swollen and sore but otherwise fine. A few days off skates and I should be good as new. But at the time it really hurt and at first I was worried that I had seriously injured it like I did back in high school.

So the red arrow in the picture above is pointing to the tendon of the peroneous longus muscle. In high school I completely torn that tendon and several others completely off the bone. So last night when I felt the pop in my ankle I was very worried that I had done the same thing over again.

So as I sit here trying to avoid being on my feet, keeping my leg elevated as much as I can as well as stretching my ankle so it doesn't stiffen up too much I think to myself...jeez this is a really bad time to hurt myself. We have a game coming up in a few weeks and we already have a short roster due to injury and unavailability, taking myself off the roster due to injury would not help the cause.

Well in the mean time I will stick to my nutrition plan and rest up this ankle so that hopefully I can be back on skates next week.
