Interesting coincidence that two people at my work very recently (past couple of days) injured their ankle. One of them broke it (I don't know how yet) and the other sprained it (relatively bad I would say). We all work in the same city and obviously for the same company. So that is kinda interesting.
Additionally, I have my own long history of ankle injuries. In short, several nasty injuries to my right ankle that I did not start to properly address until the past 4-5 years or so. The interesting connection here is that recently (two, three weeks ago) I started making very large gains in terms of my ankle healing. Basically, other issues in my body got resolved (to some degree) opening up for me the ability to focus more directly on my ankle, leg and hip. Nearly every day for the past two-three weeks I have noticed a steady improvement in these areas, and my ability to "push it" while stretching these areas has increased dramatically.
Both of these people I interact with, and am on friendly terms with. I don't believe they interact much w/each other however, due to the nature of their positions. They don't know about my ankle issues, although they may have seen me limping recently.* In thinking about it, it seems indicative of concept of universal balance, when someone goes "up" someone else goes "down".
* At the onset of the dramatic change in my ankle, the opening up of my awareness into that area of my body, my old pattern of body usage failed me entirely. No longer could I walk the way I had walked to compensate for the pain and dis-ease built up. This old pattern has been failing me more and more as of late, and at some shifting point, it just collapsed. I was forced to try to use the muscles in my entire right leg in a way I had not used them for many years; basically a more "proper" way to use them. But atrophy is no weak foe, and I simply could not (cannot) use the muscles I needed to in the way I needed to and was forced to limp about for several days. I want to impress that this limping was severe (relative to personal experiences and observation) - it was like nothing I had ever experienced. It was commented on by some peers, I saw more notice it. I joked to myself that it felt like my leg was "half dead," like I was just dragging it along with me.
