I'm finally back from the doc's! Here's the verdict: the doctor was very surprised that no broken bones showed up on the xray on either foot/ankle (especially the left one, because she was pretty sure it was going to be broken). I do have a mild grade 1 sprain on my right foot, and my left ankle (the one with the gross swelling) is a severe sprain - grade 3, because of probable ligament tearing. So, if the swelling and pain doesn't go away markedly in a week, I have a referral to an orthopedist and may need surgery. I have an air cast on the left foot/ankle, my right foot is bandaged, and the wound on my knee was cleaned and dressed, again (I nearly passed out during that part.)
I have crutches, and Vicodin for pain. I'm set for a little while.

Good thing nothing's broken and I hope you don't need surgery!
If they order "carry out," they'll have to get a side of Sifu for protection!
