Blogger only allows each category grouping to contain 20 entries, so all my previous entries regarding my ankle will be grouped under "ankle ordeal" and all ankle updates from here on out will be grouped under "ankle ordeal: part two".

I went for a check up and new x-rays the other day.
The bone is still not healed, as you can see from the scary jaggedy edges, and as such, I have to continue to stay off my foot for another four weeks or so. Ugh.
Having recovered from many an ankle-sprain in my lifetime, never did I imagine that a broken ankle could be such a horrendous injury requiring such a ridiculously long recovery-time.
On top of this, I'm kind of dreading the eventual follow-up surgery I'm going to have to have in order to remove those two long screws you see joining my tibia and fibula. (Apparently once walking and more-intense movement begins, the bones begin moving and flexing and sometimes the screws can snap and, as you can probably imagine, having sharp free-floating metal pieces deep in your flesh is probably not the most comfortable thing in the world...)
Sexy feet!
(The swollen foot looks "tan" because he is filled with blood and swollen. The regular foot looks super pale because he hasn't seen the sun in over a month.)

Yesterday we drove up to Boston for lunch with Kathryn and her daddy and I was also able to meet up with my new broken-ankle buddy Betsy, who found me through my blog (having also broken her ankle recently), also went to Brown ('07), and also lives in West Hollywood (but is recovering with her daddy in Boston).
The Internets brings people together!
Betsy's a few months ahead of me in the healing process, having graduated to an aircast.
We rocked our footwear proudly.
Also we saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which in my opinion was the longest, most glacially-paced movie I have seen in my life.
Most people seem to like it though. But I personally did not.
Brad Pitt spends 80% of the movie being old and maybe 10% being beautiful.
And Cate Blanchett is hardly worth pining for over an entire lifetime.
