I WAS ABLE TO PLAY FOOTBALL AGAIN!!!!
 So surprising news today - the ankle was OK to play football on!!!  I played mostly defense plus a few series on offense at the end of the game - got a TD, otherwise didn't really have much effect.

I can't even put into words just how good it made me feel to be able to get back out there again.  Especially when the weather was relatively nice (sunny, cool but not cold).  I just wanted to jump up and down for joy at being able to do something again after the past few weeks.  Being limited to just walking around (and even that causes you some pain) was a big downer.  Ankle definitely felt funny a few times when i landed, but nothing serious.  Iced it down and popped some Tylenol when i got back.

And random book-quote time:

And yeah, there's someone who always comes to mind when I hear this song.  I still find this album to be a good energizer though.
