Manu may not even be awake yet from the flight back...much less get another exam.
I have searched a little this morning and can't find an update for today.

Thanks. I got up late myself and just had my first coffee.
I am not a very patient person.
He is going to be re-evaluated today.
You can bet his slumber has been disturbed some to administer different forms of therapy to treat the condition, even if at his home.
I agree, there is no reason to rush the MRI. I expect that late this afternoon or tonight.
MRI friggin suck.. luck they are $$$ so they can just use the open table one.
THIS JUST CAME IN OVER THE WIRE....
Manu is all f*cked up....that is all...
i think he'll be out for a while. first x-rays were negative.
Looked again and still nothing on new on Manu. Reports are flying all over the place and people are guessing he will be out anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.
I am hoping for a grade 1 or 2 sprain. I know it looked really bad yesterday, but I am still hoping for the best. X-rays can show some soft tissue swelling, but were taken to rule out fracture. Since x-ray was negative (no break) I am waiting to hear MRI results (and hoping there is no ligament tear).
Obviously I do not live in SA, so if anyone hears anything new, please let me know.
Watching the Kansas-Nebraska game, I thought I saw a report on their ticker that Manu would be out 4-6 weeks. Could have beena lot worse, but with the rodeo trip coming up, this is bad timing.
I saw the game last night and really felt bad for Manu. The replay showed it to be a severe sprain. Let's hope that he is not out too long. It's bad to loose him to injury but to loose him again is a bit much. I respect his game and the way he lays himself out for the play. The downside to that is you open yourself up to injury.
It's a good thing he is in good shape and not as big as Shaq then it could have been much worse... broken ankle or torn ligaments.
Get well soon...
Sorry for being somewhat ignorant on this, but what exactly does it mean when they say x-rays are negative? I always thought it meant they were non-conclusive. In this case, do we know that Manu's ligaments are not torn?
Means there are no breaks, or torn tendons and stuff like that.
When they say negative they mean it's nothing too serious.
Can they even see tendons on xrays? I thought that's what MRI's were for - tendons and ligaments.
X-rays were negative just means no bones were broken...just as a negative MRI just means that no ligaments or tendons were torn. In other words, the worst posible thing did not happen so there were no negative consequences, which is of course, a positive...so you are still left with your chickens chasing your eggs, or was it the other way...
I've always thought that regardless of the test, whether x-rays, mammograms, or whatever... when test results come back "negative" it means "normal".
I think they could see a severe tear. The MRI can spot lesser damage and give a better idea of the grade of the sprain.
Sorry, I watched the same game as everyone else, and while Manu turned it, it wasn't nearly as bad looking as Tim's last year in the Detroit game. I almost puked watching that one. His ankle actually rolled at least 90 degrees, to where it was the side of his foot on the floor.
He could be out for a while, though, considering that it's the same foot he's had trouble with all year.
The only ticker reports I've seen are regarding Gerald Wallace being out 4-6 weeks with an ankle sprain, but there has been no word on Manu yet.Watching the Kansas-Nebraska game, I thought I saw a report on their ticker that Manu would be out 4-6 weeks. Could have beena lot worse, but with the rodeo trip coming up, this is bad timing.
Could you post any info, as soon as he get up?
A negative x-ray means no broken bones or dislocations in this particular case.
Sometimes a tendon or other soft tissue is highly visible on x-ray. It depends on what the study is done for. There are x-ray techniques that can demonstrate soft tissue.
In this particular case, the x-ray was taken to rule out a fracture or severe swelling (which may indicate a complete tear or otherwise undetected fracture).
You are correct in thinking that an MRI is usually the best way to visualize soft tissue.
There is no way simply from watching the mechanism of injury on TV to determine if his sprain was severe (grade 3= full tear) or not.
A severe sprain by definition means that there would have been a complete tear of a ligament.
Gino was in his forum chat. I asked him how he was feeling. He told me: " I'm good, well... i'm ok." and the injury " is not as bad as it looked."
I forgot to ask him how long he expects to be out.
But anyway, Gino seems to be in good spirits. He said he was " watching SPEED CHANNEL and then EXTREME MAKEOVER home edition with wifey"
Well i can help you with that, he said he will be out between 7 and 10 days, that´s excellent!!!!I forgot to ask him how long he expects to be out.
I couldn't keep up with all the Spanish.
