R Foot, Impact wound / trauma

2008-03-30 – 2008-04-18

Grade: 2

Smashed my heel when I fell climbing barefoot over some riprap at the beach, and then continued to run for almost an hour. Painful to walk on. Possible fracture?

This eventually subsided, along with the minor bruise on the lower thigh of the same leg from the HG landing at Wellfleet. Nancy made me take a bunch of ibuprofen and ice the heel, and I also iced the thigh, but it wasn't evident to me that this improved the recovery time.
