November 16th. It started out like any other Sunday...morning spent at church. Then Jeremy raced home to play two tennis matches to finish his season with flex tennis. The first opponent was a no-show. If only the second opponent would have been a no-show. Long story short, Jeremy went up for an overhead shot and when he landed he heard a loud snap. Not a good sign. His right ankle immediately became swollen. His opponent just so happened to be a physician and advised Jeremy to go to the emergency room since he thought Jeremy's ankle was broken. Jeremy went home instead. After some discussion....Jeremy went to the emergency room. They determined that he had two torn ligaments. No fracture. So Monday was spent visiting the orthopedic surgeon and getting fitted for an aircast.
You can't really drive with an aircast, so I became Jeremy's personal chauffeur for the week. He went back see Dr. Fukuda on the 24th for a check-up. Things weren't looking better, so off to radiology he went. Again, no fracture. Jeremy got downgraded to a hard ankle brace and off we went. About 20 minutes later, Dr. Fukuda called and said she looked at the xrays again and thought there was a fracture after all. So, a CT scan was scheduled for the next day. Luckily, the CT scan showed that there was not a fracture. Fracture? No fracture? Decide already. So, back to the ankle brace for three weeks and then hopefully rehab.
Tennis will just have to wait.
