When I was a kid I sprained my ankle a lot to the point that I stopped going to the doctor and had crutches and an ankle wrap at the ready. I knew to put ice on my ankle for twenty minutes while elevated and that after a week it should start feeling better. The first sprained ankle was really bad and recovery was slow and painful and I stayed off my leg so much that when I started to use it again, it hurt an unwarrented amount, but the next few weren't so bad.

This is how I feel now. I ordered a big pizza that I couldn't afford, ate ice cream, and watched episodes of 30 Rock while falling asleep. I stayed completely sober. I got a lot of work done today. Probably soon I will go work out. In approximately three weeks I will feel much better.
