Last week, I went bowling when I was in Canada. We went to this hole in the wall bowling alley, but we had a lot of fun. The bowling shoes, however, were pretty crappy. I think they were about 20 years old. The first time I went to throw the ball, my ankle felt weird, it kinda popped a little.

Ever since then, I’ve had intermittent pains in my ankle. It hasn’t been swollen and the pain isn’t constant, it’s just every now and then, I’ll feel a sharp pain and the feeling that something just isn’t right with my ankle.

The instances have been happening more and more often since last week, so I decided to get it checked out. I went to the hospital to get an x-ray on my ankle, and it was just the weirdest experience. I’m lying on this table in this big room, with the x-ray machine above me. The technician then takes my ankle, puts it in this weird-ass position, and says, “can you rotate it to the left a little bit? Now move your toes up…ok, that’s it. Let’s hold it there…” I felt like I was taking school pictures! He took several shots, two different angles of my ankle, and then I had to lie on my side for the last one. Each time I felt like my body was contorted along with whatever crazy angle my foot was in. If I was actually in a lot of pain, taking the x-rays would have been pretty painful.

I find out the results today, though I’m going to be in Milwaukee so I won’t really be able to do anything about it until tomorrow…wish me luck (and don’t say “break a leg!”)
