    I rolled my ankle going on about two months ago. Didn't swell up nearly like yours has. Didn't get it looked at by anyone, but I'll tell ya this... It's still not 100%. A few times on my latest run I was thankful for cruise control because staying on the throttle for longer periods the analog way started to get uncomfortable.

    How I did it was reaaaally silly too. Was skimming my pool and I looked up to see what made some crunching noises in the trees a little ways off. Took a step in the wrong direction and fell in rolling my ankle in the process.

    I used to own one of those. Well older version. Good car. But what ever you do, do not follow oil change requirements. Cut it in half. If she does alot of short driving. Change 3-4k max. The modern EGR is killing engines and long oil changes.

    Maybe $3500…. :)

    Equipment dealer told me this morning it’s worth more as a day cab versus a sleeper tractor….

    Coming from a guy who months later still has sharp pains in his wrist now and again, who did not seek medical attention. Id agree. But better giving advise than taking advise.

    When I broke my foot I waited like 3 or 4 days to finally go to the ER. And dumb enough to half ### walk around on it without any support other than a guy named Jack Daniels. The 1st thing the Dr said was this didn't just happen Lol. He wasn't amused. It was hugely swollen.

    I'm the same way. You could tell me my right arm was about to fall off so better get to the doctors and I'd still rationalize myself out of going.
