Had one today. Dropped the rental car off and then walked from Ottawa Bus Terminal (Hwy 417 and Bay or Kent Streets) to the Byward Market. I was having a lovely walk in the cool morning weather. I saw the GG's Foot Guards marching to Parliament Hill for the changing of the guard while I was in Confederation Park and then I proceeded to climb the

aw Sometimes a twisted ankle lets someone else offer help, consider that this man gets help for food every day. You gave him an opportunity to offer help to another.

Very true. I did give him some change as well which I normally don't do or I wouldn't have any money. I see some of the same guys every single day. I felt, not that he earned it, but rather as my good deed back to him. He helped make my day brighter so I was hoping to help make his day brighter. If I see him again I will give him money again. I think I am making a hash of what I am trying to say but I hope that you understand.

o dear! here's hoping only dignity was hurt, and the rest just needs a soak in a hot bath and a glass of something. glad someone was there to help you if needed.

Hmmm, glass of something sounds good right about now. I have a large red spot on my leg just below the kneecap but no blood or anything like that but it does smart. I few strained muscles in other spots of the body that seized up in an effort to keep me upright. Probably time for another bath with that glass of something.

Thank you for your concern.

add epsom salts to the bath to help leach out the toxins and stuff that your body shoves into muscles when stuff like this happens. add a couple of cups to bath water as hot as you can tolerate. keep a supply of water to drink nearby to offset the osmosis thing that will happen.

sounds like you came out hurt, but not as bad as it could have been. a massage would likley help with the muscle strains. hugs and quick healing.
