Current Events > Sprained my ankle playing basketball yesterday

(+) Yeah! (+)

It sucks, hope it recovers soon. Was doing good with my weight loss journey so far

Someone get you with a crossover?

Did everyone watching go "ooooohhhh"

I actually was driving to the basket, went for a layup but floated it to pass to my teammate.

Then when I came down I turned my ankle badly. I didn't jump that high though when I did that. The defender said he fels bad because he thinks he was playing bad defense which caused me to fall down on his foot. I didn't notice it though when it happened. I understand its all part of the game though, accidents happen I have no hard feelings at all.

He gave me a few tips on how to recover since he went through something similar himself

Alternate ice and compression socks and you'll be good as new in no time

When you go to smoke clowns but end up smoked by a clown.

Do you feel any better?

Sightly. The pain is somewhat down. Swelling isn't as bad but it's still swollen.

I still can't put any weight on it though and have to hop around on 1 leg

I've been alternating between icing, resting, and compression, have also been keeping it elevated on a pillow at times

Accidents definitely happen, sometimes it's nobody's fault.

I was playing an intramural league in high school and jumped to block a shot, and I came down and tore my meniscus without touching anybody at all. Sometimes it just happens, and it sucks.

Damn I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you had a full recovery

Unfortunately, not really. I was going to college to play tennis, and I rushed my recovery, and just ended up screwing things up even more.

It is what it is, though. I can't blame anybody else. And it's not like I expected to go too far in said tennis career, anyway. It was sorta a means to an end. Just meant I had to work harder, is all.
