Your predicament reminds me of an incident back in my strongman days. I was training for a big National competition and it was 4 weeks out, I was doing runs (or waddles really) over a 25m course carring 220kg between my legs (only a little more than is usually there
) and went over on my right ankle..so I was 128kg at the time + the 225kg = 353kg on my ankle. It popped but didn't break. I was devistated and initially thought well there goes 12 weeks of training, I have no chance
... Well, I took 4 days off work and applied the RICE priciple (Rest, Ice Compression and Elevation) religiously, then bought a lase up ankle brace and was back carrying upto 300kg with in two weeks (I avoided turning corners with that sort of weight though, up until the contest). I competed in the contest but was understandibly behind the eight ball
. However ...and the point of this story...the 4 days at home on the couch gave me new insight into daytime televison
Hope AS&T was insightful too
