After an unscheduled trip to the emergency room Friday night (my ankle was so swollen I couldn't walk), come to find out that I have a: "non-displaced posterior malleour fracture w/ligament injury and displaced talus" in my right ankle.
Go figure, I've been walking/riding/swimming, etc for over 3 months on the stupid thing thinking that it was a marginal sprain!
Question now is are there any Doc's out there that can share what options I'm faced with? (can't get in to see an orthopedic surgeon for another week).
Phil, I was REALLY looking forward to that 50 back race with you in Santa Cruz next month, looks like we might have to reschedule!

I see that you are in Vail, CO. (lucky #@&#^@) Highly recommended that you go to Dr. Richard Steadman's clinic in that neck of the woods. When I was with the US Olympic Committee (Sports Science & Medicine Division), we often recommended that banged up skiiers, among others, go there. They have put together more extreme leg injuries than nearly anyone else.
Be brave.
