Posted by March 15, 2016 – Sydney
Last night many of us went out for pizza. It rained a little while we ate but had cleared by the time we headed back to the hotel. Two blocks from the hotel I slipped on a metal plate in the sidewalk and sprained my ankle.
I’ve been icing it, taking anti-inflammatories, and keeping it elevated since then. I had someone buy me an ACE bandage so my ankle is now wrapped. I missed out on my free day in Sydney. I did find out that old U.S. TV series are on during the day. I watched Matlock, JAG, and West Wing. I am able to walk so I went out to pick up lunch around 1pm. It is not a bad sprain but I’ll need to baby it for a few days.
No blog tomorrow because we are traveling all day to New Zealand.

So sorry you sprained your ankle! This happened to me right before we went to China last year. I got a cane with a seat so that I could sit anywhere the tour group paused. A lot of drug stores have them. Hope yours is minor…and glad you’ve done a lot of your hiking already. Keep us posted!

Oh, Elsie! I’m so sorry that happened. 😞 I hope it doesn’t have too big an effect on your trip. Take care of yourself!

Oh, Bummer, Elsie. If the old ankle still needs support try a OTC ankle brace. This really saved me on a hike a few years ago.
Take care and carry on. Love, love your blog. Sheila
