CIM Training Week 5, Day 1: Doctor Visit

This afternoon I went to the doctor to make sure my ankle is doing ok.

I went in there, and he looked at my foot. He felt the sore spot, then moved it up, down, left, right, around. Told me to expect some bruising, but that it doesn't look broken, just a strain.

Then he told me what I already knew about and was doing: RICE. Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate. Get an ace bandage. Was I taking any anti-inflammatories? I told him Aleve, along with a Glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM supplement and my Mega Men Sport. He nodded his head, said take it easy until it heals.

5 minutes after he walked in the door, I was on my way. So the good news is nothing's broken, but 5 minutes? He didn't even comment on the fact that my blood pressure was 142/70. I had high blood pressure before losing weight, should I freak out over it?

Anyway, the plan is to cross train the next week and stay off it as much as I can, RICE, and plan on running again next Wednesday.
