My whole vacation flashed before my eyes as I crumpled to the ground. After all the hiking and scrambling I've done in the last 4 days, it was an uneven sidewalk in town that knocked me down. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and stepped into a little divot, rolled my ankle, and ended up sprawled in someone's front yard.
My ankle was a bit tender when I stood, and the awareness that we were all two miles from home gave me pause. But as I continued walking, I could feel the ankle loosening up, and I knew there was a drugstore just a couple of blocks away where I could buy an NSAID and maybe even a compression brace. Plus? I was starving! So I knew it couldn't be too bad.
Less than an hour later, we were on our way back to the house, and my ankle was only a little sore. And after that little five-mile jaunt, Heidi and Lucy and I met our friend Ruth and did another couple of miles on an amazing trail along the cliffs at the southern end of the island. My hiking days aren't over yet. 🤞🏻
