Far out, thanks dude. Know any good orthopedic practices that have a foot-and-ankle-focused surgeon on the team?

The first one is dominant, probably the coolest/most professional-looking thing I've seen of yours. Would be better with a make though

No. I and nearly everyone I know have private insurance and visit private doctors, private imaging centers, private physical therapists, private hospitals, etc. The state only provides for people who have completely fallen off the cliff, either by being unemployed, past retirement age, or too poor to afford private insurance.

That's what I thought. So, the way insurance works here in the States (if you have it) is, a doctor prescribes something for you. Say, an MRI. Then you go to the MRI place, where they get your insurance information. Then take the images and, based on your insurer, you pay a certain amount in co-pay. On my insurance it would be like $15 or $20. The MRI place bills your insurance company for the rest. If the insurance company decides that the MRI was the right thing for you get (based on the doctor's prescription and other stuff), they pay the MRI place. If they decide it wasn't, they refuse to pay and the MRI place sends you a bill. Then you have to pay.
Usually (in my experience) the insurance company takes care of it.

Still felt like shit this morning/early afternoon but managed to get up and make myself some breakfast. Started feeling better so went to the gym. Workout was a bit of a wash but it's okay, I'm still glad I went. Didn't finish all my stuff so I'll throw some extra on after the next workout (SP).
warm up
shoot hoops x a while -- not bad but not as good as the other day
core stretches
glute bridges
work
DLRVJ x15-20 -- pretty consistently around 29.5-30, nothing bad just nothing great
two-step VJ x7-8 thrown in -- got 30 on a couple of these, maybe should switch to two-step for a while before trying full run ups again
squat 3x5x255
DL 5x315 -- back to three plates, baby!
bench 5x185, 2x175 -- fail, this just felt wrong for some reason
DB row 8x60/ea, 2x10x60/ea
cool down
shoot some more hoops
stretch

FUUUUUUUUUUCK man. That sucks! 
I know a bit about ankle rehab just from personal experience and ad hoc research but that shit is WAY more serious than anything that's happened to my ankles. If you have any questions down the line, once you start being able to move it again and can think about strengthening and stuff, just shoot me a PM.

Bball practice.
Exhausting!
Got some good jumps in , all in extremely fatigued state , dropstep ~30'' , 2 and 3 steps mostly 32'' to 32,5''.
In a 2-step jump i got both hands 3d knuckle at rim.
In another 2-step jump touched 32'' on my way down , definately 33'' at peak , season best!
After seeing that everybody wanted me to dunk , tried 2 times but lost ball palming on my way up , FAIL!
Awesome.

Thanks dude. I actually feel worse today, bad headache on the right side. No fever though, which is good. The other weird thing about whatever it is I have at the moment: the phlegm or mucus or whatever that comes up when I cough tastes absolutely nasty. I can't remember having a cough where that happened.

Workout: foam roll and stretch
I feel very weak and my joints hurt. Bit reminiscent of last year's flu. Fuck.
you're getting sick ?? flu??
:/
Feels like flu, yeah. Been sick the past few days but just was like a chest cold, lots of coughing but otherwise felt fine. Shit hit the fan last night but I'm feeling progressively better today. Aches are subsiding, no more fever, head only hurts when I cough. Hopefully will be back to normal by tonight.

« on: October 12, 2010, 07:11:09 am »Yesterday, played frisbee golf with my brothers for ~2 hours. Lots of walking around and some running to make sure we didn't lose discs in the woods. Hadn't ever played a full course of disc golf before. It was fun but man do disc golf discs fly different than ultimate ones. Still hadn't gotten the hang of it by the end.
No scratch handicap?
No pars listed so we just decided everything should be par 4, haha.

Went to the gym today just to move around some, roll a lot and stretch a lot.
Shoot hoops x 20-25 mins -- money in the bank, shorty whatcha drank. Could not miss.
EDIT: Interspersed were ~15 DLRVJs -- best was about 30.5", most 29.5-30, pretty weak, was thinking about the runup too much
jump rope incl double unders practice -- totaled about 50 double unders and a bunch more stuff
row x 2000m, easy if inconsistent pace, ~8:30
SMR x25-30 mins
stretch x15 mins
Felt nice.
