sprain

[kirkcudbright]

Saturday night, I went out with scul for the first time in 3 weeks (what with Baitcon and Montreal). We biked to a lovely soiree, laughed at the rain for a couple hours, then headed out again. Except it wasn't done raining. And I was piloting Catastrophe - possibly the biggest, heaviest bike after Cloudbuster. Seriously, I'm a strong biker, but this was near the limit of my abilities when I was fresh and sober, and it only got worse on the return trip, in the rain. doze_e_fish gets several hundred additional awesome points in my estimation for piloting this craft.

Anyway, I wrestled it most of the way home, but coming in the landing pad, I rode over a curb I hadn't noticed (possibly recoverable), into a parking barrier (not recoverable), and twisted my ankle in the ensuing fall.

Today was the first time I actually looked at it. Really. I have a pretty good sense of how things are, and it didn't feel like something that needed a lot of medical attention, just some time off. So yes, it's swollen, and yes, a compression bandage is helping. But no workout today, no skating tomorrow, and hopefully I'll be back on the horse in a few days.
