Went to work okay. The ankle coped all right - I spent most of the day with it up on my normal chair (the kneely one) while sitting in a normal chair. I only used the crutches a little because they were more annoying than not, although I was glad to have them. Depending on how my ankle feels in the morning (and I'm about to find out what colour it's gone), I will probably leave them home tomorrow.

Workmates were all: "So what have you done to yourself this time?" and expressed both sympathy and the information that this sort of injury can take a year to heal completely. thesane informed me of this last night. I'll contact a nearby physio tomorrow and see what they have to say.

On the plus side, I changed back to my old desk at work today. Back when R. started I shifted across one desk and occasionally complained because my mouse and keyboard both didn't fit on the keyboard tray. Then I got used to it. However, in a discussion with my father on Friday night, it occured to me that despite the non-ergonomic set up of my home computer for the last five years or so, I've never really had any problems with my wrists until recently and that made me think that my desk could be a problem. So I switched back today. Had a few minor twinges in my wrists before I shifted and virtually nothing after, so that has to be a good sign.

Ankle is nearly as pretty colours as it was the time I managed to avoid going headfirst down the stairs at Harbour View Rd by cracking my shin on the concrete stairs and getting a numb patch on my leg for about two years. Dark, purply blue under my ankle, grey purple stretching up my leg and general faint grey/purple over the swelling and darkening on the other side of my foot.
