Creative Janet
Dear Raul,
I must say Janet's video was sensitive, graphic and sad that such a think can happen to young people. I think the LA teen age culture is foreign to me. For Janet to be familiar enough and have this done in 72 hrs. is impressive. Congratulations for the hard work Janet.
Janet has skill and, talent. I pray and wish her success in her starting endeavors. This is only the beginning of a creative life for her.

Health Advice
Having injured my ankle a couple of times in various sports, I do not understand your “I shopped around and found no suitable braces”.
Ever think of seeing a doctor or going to an urgent care center?
Thanks to those injuries, I have three different braces based on the damage. Their similarity: they were provided by health care professionals.
Take care of it now or you will suffer more later.

Eastern Medicine
Thanks Tom.
The last time I sprained my ankle was almost 20 years ago. I forgot how restricting it is not to be able to move around. I'm learning to appreciate feet.
As for the unsuitable braces, what I meant was I was looking for a brace that would give enough support to my shin area so my weight wouldn't go to my foot. But there are no braces like that. I think what I really need for that would be the braces that polio victims use where the weight goes all the way to the thigh area. As far as insurance, the guy in the store told me times have changed and it's a complex maze of different payments from medicare to the manufacturer --- whatever he said meant he preferred cash. Of course he would.
But the bottom line was he said I just needed to rest my foot. That was good advice. Instead of purchasing something expensive that I would need for just a few days, I just stayed in bed ... worked in bed. 2 days after the accident I am now able to put a little weight on the heel of my foot. Nature is doing it's just well ... even at my age.
I was able to borrow a walker from a friend and that helped a lot initially. But I can see myself moving without it in a few days.
But your suggestions are still good. I actually considered going to a doctor the 1st day but after going to the store, I realized I didn't really need to after talking to the man in the store who seemed to know his stuff.
One thing I learned about doctors --- they don't know everything. And some are better in some areas than others. For example many MDs here in the US aren't familiar with alternatives in Eastern medications. When I was getting symptoms of metacarpal tunnel syndrome from using the mouse too often, a nurse suggested I buy a hand brace and take Motrin. Her solution was to help tolerate the pain. A doctor would have suggested an operation. But a few days later, I bumped into a chiropractor friend of mine who asked me about my hand brace. He practically scolded me for wearing it. As he was talking, he took off the brace, then he massaged my arm a bit, testing its range of motion. He did it for less than 5 minutes. It hurt but it was bearable. After he was done he said never to put that brace back on. After a day or two the problem was gone. It has never returned.
Even among Western medical professionals, there is a misunderstanding of who is more knowledgeable. Did you know that Pharmacists know medications more than doctors? Why? They understand the chemistry behind the medicine while the doctors only know what works. Big difference. That's why they call medicine a "practice." It's trial and error for the doctor.
I learned this when a was stung by a hornet. I called a client Pharmacist of mine first before going to a doctor and she told me on the phone what ointment to buy. I followed her instruction and the pain subsided dramatically after the first day. A few days later my finger was back to normal. The reason we need doctors is because they can give prescriptions. Pharmacists need to those prescriptions before they can sell them to you.
Of course, I am speaking in generalities. But my point is, a piece of paper (a diploma) does not mean that person is the ultimate authority in the industry.
As always, it's a pleasure to exchange ideas with you.
Go Pacquiao!!!!

PACMAN Prediction
As for alternative medicine, I just got back from the gym, here I suggested acupuncture for a sore shoulder due to golf, to one the women.
I trust you are writing this from your suite at the MGM Grand.
I’ll look for you ringside when I see the photos in the news.
I’m calling it Pacman in a close decision.

Hey, raoul.
Don't take this the wrong way, but we're happy you sprained your ankle while living an active life.
May God bless you with speedy healing! Thank God, He spared your hands and fingers so you can still work. Thank God, it was your left foot, so you can still drive with your right foot.

No offense taken
Thanks. No offense taken. I appreciate it actually.
Very perceptive knowing I can still drive and I can still work. Thank God indeed.
Sprain's feeling so much better. I can already put some weight on the foot.
Pleasantly surprised.
