First the good news - it's just a minor sprain.  The X-rays looked good.  (Bonus side note of good news - my bones look healthy.  Yay!)  The swelling is mostly gone.  I can now walk without limping and so, I don't need crutches.  I get to do some cool foot exercises (write the alphabet with your foot!  Woo hoo!) for physical therapy.  I can probably go back to yoga next week as long as I take it easy on the ankle.
Next, the sour notes.  The X-Ray revealed a small bone spur on my right heel.  Huh.  This just means I'll need to stretch really well when I start the running regimen, to avoid heel pain.  Which I was planning to do anyway.  Also I need to stay away from flipflops for awhile.  And high heels.  Hmm. 
And lastly, the WTF moment of the day.   According to the chart in the doctor's office, age 35-64 is Middle-Age Adult.  Which means I'm officially...middle-aged.

BUMMER about the high heels!! I don't know what I would do if I had to stop wearing high shoes.
But it's good news that it's just a sprain and that your bones are in good health.
And even if you are middle aged, you're still FABULOUS!! :)
That's quite a LARGE age group...don't ya think?
