Yes, but freezing was good for the sprained ankle.

Well, I'm glad none of you were Cougar-s d'oeuvres.

MouseWife · 07-08-2007, 06:02 PM

Um...sprained ankle? Is there a blog somewhere to read about all of the fun and adventures?

Yes, GC, always in the back of my mind...and I found out it was also on my sons mind as the place we went to in Monterey {Pacific Grove, hey, you lived there before!!!} said there were mountain lions {or cougars?} and he said he wished we'd stayed at the Portola Plaza Inn...no fear of being attacked by animals!!

Heheh, you could read my el jay.

... in about a month.

(though I hope to have the tale of our final day, ahem, my birthday, posted by tonight. There will be wee bit about NA's sprained ankle, but not enough to satisfy all injury curiosity.)

No, but my lower leg was just that for a rather carnivorous large fly on that Saturday morning. I ended up at Urgent Care a couple nights ago, because that little bite became about 1-inch in blackened diameter, with about 2-3 inches of swelling all around that, in addition to the red hot jabbing pain whenever I'd walk on it. (I'll spare you a photo of the details.)

I'm on a really heavy antibiotic right now, and am supposed to be elevating my foot as much as possible.

DoubleYou Tee Eff???!?

(Um, now I have to wonder .... did anyone determine whether Chery did, in fact, contract Lyme Disease from his tick bite???)

Disneyphile got the worst of the injuries. Her bite was nasty! I'm just a klutz,

I turned my ankle not once, not twice, but THREE times on a 4 mile hike.

I'm wearing a lovely brace now. I walk for a living. Pretty dumb.

DP, sorry you got hurt.. but NA... THIS is why I didnt go.
The most basic reasons.

I did in fact get a fractured toe on the 4th... but hiking and my ankles?
No.
I was told at physical therapy, walking and hiking good. On FLAT EVEN surfaces.
I need boots if I ever even want to TRY to go with y'all.
hell, I wear my ankle brace to sleep sometimes.

And yeah, the toenail thing.... its coming, very soon, but I dont want to know ahead of time ISM. It's icky enough now.

How awesome and swanky. it looks like an awesome and swanky time was had by all! I am so glad everyone had a good time. I loved the stories and the photos. Made me feel like I was almost there. I thought about you all that weekend. My spirit was definitely there. Did you feel its presence?

innerSpaceman · 07-08-2007, 07:21 PM

If it will make anyone feel any better, the toenail on my left Big Toe is about to come off. *

It's like something out of David Cronenberg's The Fly.

* Full Disclosure: the toenail loss is mostly due to GrandCanyoneering, but Sequioa hikes no doubt hastened its departure from my body.
