Saturday Mar 1

Note
Slept 13 hours last night.

Thursday was a rough day. At work at 5:15, 10-hour day, drive home, almost 2 hours of therapy, then drive up to Jim's house, then an epic 2.5 hour board meeting. Then drive back to Gina's for dinner. Then bed. Then back at work at 6:00am Friday morning.

Friday afternoon: got home, watched Lost, went to bed by 7pm. Woke up at 8am. Man, that felt good.

Hoping that I don't create an OK disaster by not having the jerseys arrive in time...

Wednesday Feb 27

Physical Therapy 40:00 [1]
I was stuck in a really boring meeting this afternoon, so I just sat there, elevated my leg, and did about 30 minutes of ankle stretching exercises. I probably spent another 10 minutes at my desk during the day doing other random stretches.

Tuesday Feb 26

Physical Therapy 20:00 [1]
I probably spent about 20 minutes stretching and exercising my ankle.

Monday Feb 25

Physical Therapy 1:30:00 [1]
My first session (of 12) at Greenlake Sports Physical Therapy.

The PT started off my measuring a bunch of range-of-motion angles (very interesting!) Then, I did all sorts of exercises: walking around, walking up stairs, down stairs, leg bends, balance board (3 ways), calf-stretches, squats, one-legged lifts, and two exercises with the rubber band.

Another drill was that I would balance on one foot, and the PT would toss me a basketball, back-and-forth, back-and-forth. When I was balancing on my left ankle, I was horrible at this, and I just chalked it up to me having poor balance. Then, the PT asked me to switch to my right foot, and man, it put my left ankle to shame. He was tossing the ball all over, and I was catching and throwing back, all on one foot. My right ankle was awesome, my left ankle not-so-much.

After that, I got 10 minutes of electro-shock therapy and ice. Ahhhhh.

What's weird, is that now most of my soreness is on the inside of the ankle, not on the outside on the peroneal tendon, where it was sore last week.

I asked him when he'd think I'd be able to run: 3 weeks. That's around March 17th... which is only 5 days ahead of the first Ultimate-O race. Maybe I'll volunteer to either meet direct or course-set that event, since I think those spots are still open, and it'll buy me another 3 weeks of heal time for orienteering.

He also recommended that I wear a beefy ankle brace when I go back to orienteering, at first. This is the opposite of what my doctor said.

Also, I'm back on the "crazy overtime", which means that I'm now going to bed, even though it's just 8:30pm.
