OP, remember when you fall, always fall on the non-drive side of the bike. That way you will protect your derailleur.

I never indicated I stopped riding. I stopped after I fell and went home to ice my leg which had a pretty substantial welt which I wanted to ice/pressue to stop it from getting worse. I am a lefty so I fell to my left since I clip in on the right first. Derailleur saved.
Today I am much better, the swelling is almost gone and I can walk normally. Extreme flexion and abduction of my foot no longer hurts but the inward rotation of my ankle is still a bit painful. I would imagine I will be back riding Sunday at the latest, tomorrow if possible.
Again, thanks for all the advice and laughs. I'm SO glad I did not make Youtube. My sister did call me and stated " You know you made someone laugh."
