Hiking with a Twisted Ankle

swollen left outer ankle

I stumbled on a rocky hike upstate during the Easter weekend.  It happened early on when we approached a lake.  Of course I visited the ankle reflex close to the corner of the mouth and on the hands the referral area (the outer wrist) and fortunately, there was no pain after the initial pain alleviated.  

While everyone was chatting away, I mostly kept to myself with the intention to watch literally every step and be with every breath I took so I would not stumble again and it paid off.  Despite this minor inconvenience, I enjoyed being on the trail.
