On Tuesday, January 6th, I fell off of a parking lot. Once again, literally.
The parking lot had two parts, an official part which is paved and an unofficial part which is dirt. The paved section is about an inch higher than the dirt section. I was walking facing into the sun and in the glare didn't notice the divide between two sections. I rolled my ankle and did a 3-point landing.
The small area of road rash on my right palm is almost completely healed. The large area of road rash on my left knee is about 80% healed. It's still got some scabbing and a large area of red where I lost a layer or two of skin. The biggest problem is the right ankle. It's still swollen and rather achy. There also may be a small fracture. Eew alert -- According to the X-rays, a ligament may have pulled loose a tiny section of bone. The X-rays are a bit ambiguous.
So, I'm now looking at having an MRI scheduled. And some physical therapy. What a pain in my....umm...ankle.
On a more fun note, after a couple of weeks with no balloons, a bunch were back up this morning -- almost a dozen.
A fun angle.
Starting out close together.
Then the balloon on the right started to fire their propane.
And continued to rise.
It's been nice to have sunshine after the snow we had earlier this week.
