since I dont have anyone's facebook or Twitter I decided to post it here.
A little back ground. I play semi pro football. I was at practice two and a half weeks ago, I was running for a lead block at practice(I play full back) and the tail back basically fell and rolled up the back of my leg. Instantly my ankle popped. Then pain was soon to follow. I had our trainer tape it up so it wouldnt swell and so I could take off my cleat. I went straight to the ER to figure out whats going on. After a half-assed attempt at a consult, the ER doc sent me away with an air cast and told me to take some advil.
I let a week go by and the pain still hadnt subsided. After about 4 more days what do you know, I step wrong and **POP** once again. I tried to get an appointment with a specialist in foot and ankle. It took me another 3 days to get in to see the specialist. Well that was last Wednesday. Now I am in a cast from my mid shin down over my foot. What the specialist found was that the smaller bone in my leg(the fibula?) was separating too much under full weight. They took weight bearing x-rays to determine this. He decided the cast would be the first step to seeing if it will heal. The problem was, when i was walking, the smaller bone was moving so much that the cartalidge that holds my bones to my ankle around the joint, wasnt getting a chance to form a good bond before it broke away again. The only other option if the cast doesnt work is to put a kevlar band around my ankle to keep everything in place but that requires surgery.
Long story short, I havent worked in going on 3 weeks and have absolutely no money with rent coming up on the 1st.
Im screwed. And all donations are welcome.

You guys can come by whenever you want. Im not doing shit at my house. Couldnt even do anything for my girlfriend and my 5 year anniversary. This blows. And the worst part of it all is that its my right ankle so I cant even drive my car for a WHILE.
