Speaking of needful things -- if the sprain is going to be ongoing and make showering difficult (standing on one foot in a slippery shower, yeah right) has anyone told you about shower chairs/shower seats?
Lowe's in Augusta may have one in stock: http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=337728-1471-DN7064&langId=-1&storeId=10151&productId=3309920&catalogId=10051&cmRelshp=req&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1 . There are fancier ones including "transfer" styles with wider benches -- but they cost more. (A "transfer" style generally extends past the edge of the tub so you can sit down on it and slide into the shower, instead of having to get into the shower and then sit down). Here's a pic of a transfer style: http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=121298-1471-DN7105&langId=-1&storeId=10151&productId=3009995&catalogId=10051&cmRelshp=req&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1#BVRRWidgetID
They can also be obtained from medical supply stores; some states allow them to be rented, but that's a bit of a pain.
....y'know, you might want to ask the concom to see if you and Steve can be put in a handicap room for Chattacon. Such rooms should have grab bars and a built-in shower seat; probably much easier for you.
