Good luck Jim!
I twisted my ankle last April in some mud at my house. I iced it thinking it was just a simple sprain. 2 months later I finally went to the Ortho doctor. I pulled a tendon in my foot, it took 8 months for that sucker to heal. I wish I had just broken the bone, at least that would have only been 8 weeks.

The worst was PT which is really named for Pain and Torture!
