I fear that I have reinjured it again.

About 10 years ago I was on vacation in Nebraska visiting friends and I slipped and fell in some mud and broke both bones in my leg down by my ankle and had have emergency surgery before I could come home. I was blessed to have the same ortho doc that was my ortho when I lived there so he remembered me. Anyway fast forward about 7 years and I was at an outdoor craft fair that they have here in a field and I stepped in a hole and rebroke it and ended up having bone fragments floating around in my ankle. So again I had surgery and my current ortho went in and cleaned it out and I was fine. Well now I stepped wrong today and am having the same kind of pain I had last time I rebroke it. It is very hard to walk on it and I have noticed it is a bit swollen. I am not going to go to the ER because it would be pointless there would be nothing they could do for it except tell me to R.I.C.E. it and make an appointment with my ortho. I am thinking about giving it til Monday just to make sure that maybe it's not just strained or something minor like that. I guess it would make his day to see me for something other than my knees though LOL. He is only in the office on Monday's and Wednesdays and it is getting to where he will be super busy because the Naturals will be in town soon. He is the team doctor for the Naturals who is the minor league team for the KC Royals.
