Injured my ankle a few weeks ago. How? I drove to the hoop off a crossover to my right and went for the lay-up. New guy on the opposing team stepped in to block but I beat him to the jump. He jumped forwards and into me anyway from the front and there was contact around my midriff/lower chest and his hands dragged my elbows down. I fell down and landed on the fool's foot with my right foot; he pulled his own foot to the side before I had a chance to plant my left foot down. Right ankle rolled violently. The result. Fractured bone. Two dislocated bones in the foot, tenting the skin. Ruptured ligaments all around. Basically, my right foot after the fall was pointing inwards to the left and down. I hopped home for 40 mins and went to A&E/ER two days later when there was no improvement, if anything things were worse. They put me under morphine etc etc while they relocated the floating bones. It will be almost 2 months until I can put weight on my right foot again. Few months after that before I can do anything remotely intense with it.
