The ankle is starting to feel like an ankle, instead of a painful block of wood. Apparently the joint was jammed, which was preventing that part of things from healing right. Joint is no longer jammed, as of yesterday. Still don't have full flexibility, but it's doing a lot better.
My lower back is still in the limbo of seeming to do relatively decent, except that I haven't been able to really put it through it's paces. I'm generally feeling out of shape and grumpy.
And, rather influencing the rest of it all, I've had more or less constant headaches for the past couple of weeks. On and off since the fall, of course, but between stress and inattention and... phase the the moon? Who knows? Anyhow, more than half of my lab time the last couple of weeks I've been in enough pain that it's been hard to think straight. I think I'm getting a handle on the root causes, and what's going on right now is just muscular. (The combination of being fairly muscular, and having a lot of scar tissue in those muscles, which has left them likely to throw prima donna hysterics, with the lack of ligament support means that this is just one of those things. I should be happy it doesn't happen more, and need to stay active. But right now I am going to put more ice on my back.)
