Ouch! Sorry to hear your out of action for a while! Vast experience
with ankle problems myself (my horse used to dump me very frequently)
Stay off it as long as possible and it will heal faster and
stronger. Good Luck.

This is INDEED BAD NEWS! Not about not getting more letterboxes to ferret
out, but about your mishap! Go put that injured limb up on a pillow, keep
the ice packs on it, and catch up on your reading! Whatever you do, don't
push the recovery - take time and let it heal completely or you'll be
fighting with it for longer than you need to.

With best wishes for a complete and timely recovery,

HangGlider

P.S., School is out next week, so maybe I'll have some time to get a few
more boxes planted up this way before you head up this direction.
