Foot is better

I injured my foot on Wednesday at about 11 am. My Internet-fueled diagnosis was "Grade 1 Sprain." I applied the recommended (and obvious) treatment: ibuprofen, cold packs, elastic wrap, sit around with my foot elevated and whine. The Internet predicted that the swelling should go down in 48-72 hours, and it was starting to get minimally better by the 2nd day. Then on Saturday morning (exactly 72 hours) I suddenly realized that I could walk on my left foot!  Slowly and painfully, but at least I was no longer dragging the foot behind me on the ground. I was even able to get a shoe on! So clearly the swelling was WAY down, if not completely gone. Attended the Minnstf meeting on Saturday and nobody even noticed that I was limping a little. On Sunday I actually biked to the Farmers Market and back (a grand total of 2/3 mile, but less painful than walking, which is what I was trying to determine).

So it looks like it's  going to be fine. I'm not quite up to trying another trip around the lake, but maybe later this week.
