Best Foot Forward

This weeks has been a rough one. First I sprained my ankle pretty badly playing hoops on Monday. Here is a picture of it today (Saturday), 5 days later.



I have been on crutches all week. I went to the emergency room on Monday night to get my ankle x-rayed. I wanted to be sure that there wasn't bone damage. There wasn't so I made an appointment to see an ortho on Thursday. He looked me over and told me to come back in a week. He was thorough and explained things to me in good English. I have to wear a brace for at least another week. The swelling has gone down immensely in the last 24 hours. I think keeping off it and icing it regularly has helped a lot.

On top of that J has come down with a pretty bad cold. She feels like crud but in true form barely complains at all.

We fly back to the states in 3 weeks. I'm participating in a training all this week so I really only have 2 weeks left of teaching.

Time flies when your having fun.

Jet-lagging

Much has transpired since my last post. We went out for a nice long weekend trip to an island off the west coast of Korea. Here are some pics from our trip:







It was nice to get out of town for a bit and spend time with people away from work.

This past weekend I went to Tubac, AZ to attend a friends wedding. I flew into Tucson on Thursday night and flew out early Monday morning. It was a quick trip but definitely worth it. Here are some pics from the weekend.






The wedding was great opportunity to catch up with friends as well meet some interesting new people. My trip back was fraught with delays and missed flights; mainly due to precautionary measures concerning a certain pig illness. In the end I made it home only 4 hours late which wasn't so bad.

I was also able to get out on the Kawasaki for a brief introductory ride. I have to say it is everything that I hoped it would be and I look forward to putting some miles on it this summer.

I'm jet-lagged and off to bed.
