Ryan's Ankle

Last Saturday Ryan was playing intramural flag football and decided to roll his ankle! He jumped up to block a pass and landed on the the opposing teams foot, causing Ryan to roll his ankle. He hoped off the field and stayed on the couch icing his ankle all weekend. By Monday he was able to put some weight on it.


His two feet after it happened... before the swelling was at its biggest

During class, Ryan was moving his ankle seeing how if felt and noticed that he could move it front to back but wasn't able to go side to side and was worried that he might have fractured the bones on the side of his foot. So we drove to Macon, MO to the doctors office that Ryan works with with ortho club. They took some xrays and everything is fine and the doctor was surprised that he didn't fracture the blah blah blah bone....


His two feet and my foot.... You can't even see his ankle bone!

All in all, his foot was super swollen, and not it is bruised all over! Looks pretty cool :) but don't worry Ryan is fine and was playing goalie in soccer later that week. (the goalie only stands there anyways!)


The next day the color started showing on his ankle and toes
