Well i wont be skating anymore for awhile because i sprained me ankle like hardcore. this is how the story goes lol i was at a friends house and we were playing botchy ball while a little intoxicated so we were like hey! lets try and get it on the trampoline, and at the end we all got on and started jumping and i landed on a ball and like twisted my ankle so bad and it was so swollen by the time i got off the trampoline lol it was hard to get off cause like everyone was bouncing and when i would get to the edge they would bounce me back in but then like i had to walk home then in the morning it was so bad i like cried a little so we went to doctors and waited for 3 hours then he just said its not broken just a really bad sprain thats usually worse than broken cause if it doesn't heal right its permanently hurt so he gave me this ugly robo boot thats sooo big and its just ridiculous he said 5-6 weeks i cant walk on it so im screwed for like the whole summer! ugh im so upset! :icon_mad:

p.s if you read all this thanks lol i know its kind of a lot i went on a rant =P

Ouch! I did that once although they didn't give me a robo cast thingy. My friend broke his ankle quite recently and he got one.

When they say 5-6 weeks, its more like 3-4 weeks. After that amount of time mine was fine to skate on again.

yeah im hoping it will be fine in 3-4 weeks lol cause im pissed like i think the doctor is a little bit slow because it feels fine lol its been a day and the swelling is gone and i can put pressure on it, so the doctor is prob just like "well lets make some money and tell them they need a robo boot "

Hahaha Les it looks good. It's black right? Everyone's getting black these days but some people don't look so good with it. Well, either black or a super dark brown.

Yeah I fractured my ankle last summer and it was fine after 3 weeks when the doctor said it would take 4-6.

Funny you called her Son and Man up, when she's a girl :tongue:


But yeah, that sucks hardcore. Although I don't think sprained ankles should have boots, just sleep on it, and the next day it should get lots better

ahhh robo boots, my mom had to have one for tearing her calf muscle (whatever that is)
but i bruised my ankle a couple years ago (which is like a sprain, they say its worse than a break and sometimes doesnt fully heal) from slipping on a wet floor and slamming into a wall foot first, te same day we went to busch gardens, so i was in hell the whole time. BUt is should heal up faster than the doctor says, they just say longer because they dont want you to have any problems. trust me i know your frustration, i broke my arm last feb. right before two scheduled ski trips and couldnt go, i was moving my arm around in the cast no pain or anything within the first week of having my cast. But it sucks your summer is pretty much gone

you most likely had a high sprain. In which case, do your exercises everyday, they really do help. ANd dont try anything if it starts hurting

What the heck is botchy ball? also, a robo boot, thats gotta help with tricks! you wouldnt even need to try, just programme it;). seriously though, unlucky. Humans-2, trampolines-46592+. Lol lethal things, never mind when drunk, lol i have done that once before slightly drunk though haha:p.

I slightly fear trampolines now though just because of the countless number of trampoline ownage videos on the internet ive watched ha:p
