My foot/ankle

Here's a quick update. X-ray shows nothing. But they are thinking it's a torn ligament. I have to go Monday for a MRI. They wanted me to go Thursday or Friday but I am going to be in Chicago for the expo. So they told me to just wrap it and try to stay off it as much as possible. They have no clue what an expo entails. Stay off it?? HOW? It's been like this for nearly a year so a few more days can't possibly hurt me, can it?!
