Blowing down The Avenue in Hampden Friday night with my friend Zack and a go-cart, I caught the thing in the back of my heel when I tried to keep Zack from going into the street. Didn’t break it, and watching the colors change is fun. This was at its more normal color. A few inches higher, and I might have broken an ankle. I ran into a tree when I was riding it, but I hurt neither me nor the tree. Nor the cart.
R.I.C>E>- rest, ice, compression, elevation.
be careful with the achillies tendon- it is a bitch of an injury, takes along time to heal. Best o’ Luck
Thanks, Danny! I heal (oh, the puns!) pretty quickly, and it usually only bothers me when I stick my finger in it. I’m clumsy enough to do it a few times a day though:) I was pretty lazy about ice at first, but I kept it elevated.
