Cankle 09'

I rolled my ankle this week playing basketball, it turned into a cankle.

cankles

n. 1) An aesthetically unfortunate physiological condition which leaves its victims with no discernable narrowing of the ankle between the calf and the foot. 2) An ankle which has no discernable narrowing from the calf to the foot. History: The word is derived a combination of the words calf and ankle. Victims of this condition are advised to avoid the following: ankle boots, ankle-strap shoes, anklets, ankle socks, ankle tattoos, high-top shoes, and any other footwear or legwear that might draw attention to the cankle region.




There goes all my outfit plans for the week.

**note to the basketball girls....I found my ankles braces!

Sarah....I'm still out tonight. My PT (father in law) suggested that I gave it a few weeks to heal in hopes that I wouldn't be dealing with it months later. I prefer weeks over months. :( I'll let Rocky know about MMM.

not to be mean, but that is one of the funniest things I have seen lately. I am still getting a little chuckle from that first picture.

I'm so sad for your ankle. Luckily yours don't look like that when they're just normal. HA HA. mine do. I'm so glad you are our friends and that you wear costumes and then win awards for them. We pretty much rule.:) We should be in the movies.
