My left foot ligament injury

The Introduction:

Met with a small accident yesterday (8th Aug'05), where the truck tyre went over my left foot.

Its not a bone fracture, but a ligament injury. As per the doctors it should heel within 3 weeks time!

The Story:
I was on my 2-wheeler, on the approach route to Holekar bridge (The bridge near Bombay Sappers), that approach route is mostly busy at rush-hours (12 noon), the vehicles were moving slow, and close to each other. On my left was a truck moving slowly (Not more than 5km/hr). A Sumo guy rushed in from right hand side (40-50kms/hr) and hit my handle. I went out of control, and was pushed on my left onto the truck. I took the support of the truck by my hand and kept my foot down. It was at that time the truck went over my foot. It was a close call!

The After effect:
I was in office for that day, without much pain. But by evening the pain increased. Went to Mangeshkar hospital late that evening and got a X-ray done. X-ray was ok without any damage to the bone. Doc says its a ligament injury. Next day got the foot plastered (Adhesive Scotchcast). Bright Pink: That was the only color available in the scotch cast! :)

Its difficult to walk properly with the plaster-on.

The Good news:
My foot X-ray report says: "The joint spaces are unremarkable"
The means my bone structure is good!
