Update!

Ask and you shall receive :)
Well, not a whole lot to report exercise-wise as I am hitting my third week of inactivity. I skipped FGB to rest up my toe and the same night, I roll my ankle walking down the stairs (and proceeded to roll to the basement... wonderful). This is a re-injury!!

Two weeks later, I am finally walking again and on flat surfaces, I am maybe 90% back to walking like a normal person (with an ankle support). The bruising is finally going away and the swelling is maybe 80% gone. There is still swelling where the bone fragment is supposedly located so I guess that's to be expected. Doc said that I'm okay to walk on it and that there isn't much they can do about the bone fragment at this time (see him in 6 weeks if I am concerned that it's still bothering me). He gave me some ankle circles and toe raises to do which have been helping... said I'd be doing the same thing at PT anyway. He also said that not a lot of blood goes through there so healing will be slow.

Walking down stairs is still giving me some trouble as it still hurts to track my knee over my toe. I've got a bunch of places that are still tight and sore (among them, the inside of the foot just under the inside ankle bone near the heel) but I am grasping onto every bit of improvement that I can come up with every day.

I still have 3 strict pull ups in me though so that's good but my neck has been jacked for the last 3 weeks now. You know that stiffness and soreness you get when you sleep in an awkward position? Mine hasn't gone away for 3 weeks... maybe some serious case of stiff/sore neck or I may have actually had some strain from falling down the stairs!
