Sprained Ankle

On Wednesday 2/16/2011, Eric was playing basketball with his students at school and went to rebound and a kid got under him and when Eric landed, he landed on the foot of one of his students. Thankfully, the student was not hurt but Eric, however, was and its pretty bad. he could barely walk and he somehow managed to walk down a flight of stairs, and managed to drive himself home. When he got home, I soon discovered it was his RIGHT foot and not his left. We spent the night in our bedroom with his foot elevated and then at about 7 or 8pm, the power went out til sometime after midnight we were all, all 6 of us, on mine and Eric's bed til it was bedtime for the boys. The next morning, Eric got up and started calling orthopedic doctors and got an appt. later that afternoon. We saw Dr Weenig in Provo and the doctor said his sprain was so bad, he was surprised that it was not Broke. Eric got a walking boot (which has helped him a TON) and... a Temporary Handicap Car pass This pass was the highlight of his day. Eric has to wear the boot for 2 weeks, then has a brace for another 2 weeks and then another checkup with the dr. just a day before our trip to St George for softball tournaments and of course the pass is valid for 1 month. He has a pretty nice bruise on his foot its all pretty and purple. I should take a picture and post it in here of him and his walking boot and the bruise.
