On Saturday/last night while playing basketball with some friends I went up for a rebound and my ankle got knocked sideways while I was in the air. I came down on it hard and really twisted it. Now it is very swollen, changing colors and I can't walk.
This just sucks. I hate feeling this helpless and am not sure what I am going to do about work tomorrow. I have crap to deal with and I shouldn't do it in this condition. If nothing else I definately shouldn't bowl.
I don't like my ankles. I have had too many issues with both of them.
We hiked and climbed around in the beautiful Capo Testa, a wild landscape in the North of Sardinia on that stormy day. The air was so filled with salt that my lens got all ‚milky‘. And on the way back I sprained my ankle. Nevertheless, it was a good day.

I had this great idea to do a collage with the harbour light at night coupled with one of Cabot Tower also at night. That was before I fell down, sprained my ankle and dropped my 5D and denting the rim of my 24-70L lens :( . I never go tthe second shot, and the lens cap won't go on, but at least my camera still seems to work.
film, early February 2012
The last time I went running was in mid December, due to a sprained foot and a longlasting illness, and I really really miss it. :(
Sorry I have been so absent from Flickr for 6 months. My problems started in June when I fell off my bicycle resulting in a very bad sprain to the hip resulting in 4 weeks on crutches. When just about over that I did my back in followed by 6 weeks of reduced mobility. After that the hip gave trouble again. Now I am hopeful of a first visit to London next Month for the first time since April.
This is a newly processed shot from 4 January. That day I made a night visit to the Thames foreshore with many shots worthy of editing. My main objective was the City at night especially from the Thames Foreshore which gives such a different viewpoint. This view is from the foreshore just east of the Millennium Bridge looking towards Southwark Bridge and The Shard beyond that. Of particular interest is the old building on the left and the remains of a wooden jetty on the shore dating probably from the late Middle Ages. The view is from the North Bank with St Paul’s out of shot behind and to the left and the Tate Modern a Modern Art Museum and former Power Station on the right and behind.. All navigable rivers in the UK belong to the Crown and were transferred to various public bodies over the years. For many centuries Londoners have gained public access to the foreshore with a number of access points all along the river with stairs some of better quality than others. There are public access stairs just east of the Millennium Bridge on both the north and south banks. Access is allowed but not digging without a permit.
It is particularly interesting to see the green line half way up the building on the left showing the wide range of the tide in London
The picture was taken with a Sony A68 with a Sigma 10-20 zoom at 10mm. 3 raw images 2EV spacing for HDR. The picture was enhanced with HDR processing using detail enhancer setting in Photomatix. Topaz clarity was used for more detail. Topaz Denoise was also used. In Photoshop various brightness adjustment layers were used with masks to get various areas just right including less bright on the bridge.

But Flickr, thou hast ruined the colours in this.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I got up at 8am and cycled in the freezing frost over sheets of black ice to the woods and I sprained my wrist cause the tripod got stuck in the bike spokes and then it started pouring with rain and I got very wet and I put my furry hat over Bella, my camera, to keep her dry but I was very soggy and cold in my vest top and cape.
My old blog got full, so I started another, but halfheartedly. I'll sort it out eventually but for now you can have a look at these shots of Harry :) hereee!
And then you should go like my facebook page, for a hug.
My heart and my ankle, which I sprained the day before Fudge died, are slowly healing so I've started to go for walks again.
It seems strange not having a dog beside me and sometimes I still find myself going to get his lead before I set off.
Stereosonic music festival Sydney 2012. After being unsuccessful at obtaining a photographers pass and missing out on another ticket I consigned myself to not going though I woke to a text with a VIP gold class ticket with all but backstage access HAPPY HAPPY until spraining ankle on route and having to leave after a few hours due to pain ah well.....turns out I broke my ankle not just sprained, Doh....
Returning from 17 days at the fishing house in Arkansas, I am departing from my custom of posting my shots chronologically. 14 of the 17 days away were spent recovering from a hard fall on the back porch. Thankfully, all is well except for a badly sprained left ankle. Thus, most photos taken on the trip were from the truck or backyard chair. The milkweed plant partially seen here shows only 9 of the 25 fritillaries I counted. The fields were covered with this species by the hundreds, perhaps, thousands. Never have I seen such a prolific hatch as this.
Might want to see this one LARGE!
Slipping and sliding is what it took to get this image. I had 6 falls, about 5 close calls, got a sprained thumb from one of the six falls, a wind burnt face from the 30mph freezing cold winds and one frozen foot to get this shot. It was worth it and would do it again. Hope everyone is have a great week, looks like the snow is finally coming, and I guess it will be a while before we see frozen lakes again. Thanks for the visit.
So I finally was scraping together sometime and energy to be able to start commenting more and then . . .
I had just left work Monday evening and was walking out to my car, when I tripped and took one hell of a fall by swan diving face first onto the concrete walk way. -_- I broke my left wrist in two places and sprained the middle, ring, pinkie finger and wrist on my right hand. .___. So I'm down to my right index finger to use for the keyboard. Needless to say, any meowing by me is going to be minimal for a while. :( Just want to let every one know, I am seeing your images and appreciating them all very much.

These are actual cardboard stars I made and I love how this feels like something from a children's book.
Don't know if it's the white background or the cardboard props but I really like it. So this week I'll try to create more cardboard cutouts to include in my images!
BUT I sprained my wrist just right after this photo.
I edited this, typed these sentences and whined all with one hand. hahahuhuhu It hurts so bad.
I don't know how I'll cut and photograph tomorrow, most of all function, but again one must persevere!! 😑

[Because of a sprained wrist can't take new shots for a while...uploading from stock... :D]
Alright, these days I feel like doing more panoramas. I wasn't really satisfied with the proportions of the other one I made from Canada Place, so I went to Crabtree Park and shot an other one. I hope it's better. I know better locations, but I sprained my ankle and am waiting to be healed before going to these places. But I'm looking forward to it. This one was particularly tricky to get right, and there was a lot of trial and error in order to align the photos of the two exposures I made so that my two stitched panoramas line up perfectly. The original file is 146 MP, and the one I uploaded around 16 MP. The first layer was for the sunset colors and the foreground (yay for sensors with high dynamic range!), and the second layer was to add some lights on the buildings and street lamps.

I sprained my foot a couple of weeks ago and am hobbling around on my moonboot. So I asked for wheelchair assistance for all 4 flights to and from Malaysia. It has been unexpectedly wonderful to be assisted everywhere, as I don’t travel often and get a little overwhelmed with navigating busy airports.
Day 306
I think I may have made something that I like, but I'm not sure. I wanted to climb a tree today but then I sprained my wrist, (trying to lift a pumpkin), so I just sat under a tree instead. Then I spent two hours in photoshopland and came up with this! Yay!
**Sorry, I couldn't resist such an awesomely fitting title ;)
Didn't explore a better angle for this iconic landmark in KL. See Rajesh's recent take or Daniel's for a more neck-spraining angle.
Thanks for your visits. I'd like to know your thoughts on the photo not just a simple group graphics. Please try not to leave long invitation graphics, and do not feel offended if it gets deleted.
The trail, pretty rocky and then with roots such as these, was trickier than I had expected, especially with my noble dog tugging at his leash. Still a good hike, no sprained ankle, plenty of sunshine.

I was waiting person pass through sidewalk, for in to parking lot stay on way.
The stupid 4 ton truck driver overlooked my car. My car got a sledge hammer from behind. It set the length of the car 2/3. Thank you, goofy. The pretensioner done seat belt was hard, heavy and messy. I’ve always set Recaro or Sparco in my car.
Because it doesn’t have to fight against side G.
Well, thanks to the seat there was no intense head-shake, but a cervical sprain and a lumbar sprain occurred.
I have to attend the hospital till the end of November.
I sprained my ankle climbing over moss covered rocks to get this angle, but I think it might have been worth it.
Watch out - incoming hummer with attitude ... and boy are they nasty until they've had that first cup of sugar in the morning. But then again, they're not a whole lot nicer the rest of the day ;-0
Just a quick SOOC as very busy and...sprained my ankle. I was sitting at my computer writing a lot on Thursday and my foot went numb. Oof course I did not feel it was numb so got up and wambam I went on the floor immedietley, twisitng my numb foot...Looks like must limit my computer times and find out what is wrong with my blood circulation. Looks like might have been a bit unlucky recently or justtiny bit clumsy ;-)
Hope you having some better times! Have a great week ahead! Warm smiles :-))

Common Comfrey, or Knit Bone as it's sometime called, by Dad always grew it for the leaves for a sprain. Lovely white bell shaped flowers.
last week justin was doored on forsyth. broken nose, black eye, sprained wrist, and a bent top tube.
Clambered up deer trails in order to get this view and sprained my ankle in the process, but at least I've got something to show for it!
There are days and days. But this particular one is different.
Sprain and toothache, is synonymous, that I can not eat properly and not run as I'd like.
Are those days on which the house is small and makes you have the feeling that you need to come up for air, that you go crazy inside.
It's OK, at least I have my photographs to vent and transmit this feeling.

I sprained my back yesterday doing situps so i've got a day off. Though i'd might as well finish this since i won't have much time otherwise.
I think she looks too skinny here. :x
Aah i love the rp. Tyler and Jamie FTW! Go Aussies!
It was thought I only had a sprain of my ankle but three months later after a bone scan it showed up a stress facture. Because it has been left so long I may have some trouble getting it to heal properly. Time will tell.
We have our bedroom and bathrooms up stairs and I can't get up very easily so am living down stairs just now. My computer is up stairs so can't access my photos for now.
Was half thinking about calling this photo "Planes, trains and automobiles" after the John Candy and Steve Martin film. Let me explain why.....
My wife was in England having flown out from Copenhagen. For those that know her she can be known to fall over easily due to almost non-existent ligaments in her ankles. Well her right one now has ligaments from her right knee but it's soon time for her to be operated again for her left ankle. Suffice to say whilst in England visiting my family her ankle gave way and she fell over spraining her left foot and knee in the process. There was no way she would have been able to drag suitcases, rucksacks and duty free on the train over to Sweden, change at Malmö and carry on up to our house. So I decided to drive down and meet her at the airport. I also decided it would be nice to wander around Copenhagen for a few hours, soaking in the sights and trying to improve my limited street photography skills.
I woke up at 5am, heading out 45 minutes later for the four hours drive to Malmö, parked my car and caught the train over to Copenhagen. It was so hot that day, not weather to have jeans on but as my two pair of shorts I own have baggy, shallow pockets I didn't want to lose my wallet, phone or car keys to gravity or worse quick fingers. So jeans it was. I headed down to the iconic tourist site of Nyhavn. Along the way I snapped this couple. Really happy with how it turned out, if I'm honest. Anyway as it was so hot I decided enough was enough and retreated back to the airport for some much needed air conditioning, hydration and waited for my wife. Her flight landed 10 minutes early and that was the start of our troubles....
Her flight from Gatwick took 1 hour 25 minutes. It took 1 hour 15 minutes for her, and her fellow travellers, luggage to come to the baggage reclaim hall. Very frustrating as it was only their flight that Copenhagen airport had problems with. Oh well. When she finally came out we walked to the platform, having just missed the previous train by a few minutes. No worries the next train was due soon in..... But it didn't come. We waited patiently for news and after a while a lady announced on the loud speakers that there was a power failure on the line between the airport and Copenhagen center. She'd come back with more information soon. Which she didn't, only "reappearing" now and then to announce to the every increasing size of travellers the same news of a power failure. After two hours of waiting I started to see the quite sizeable crowd starting to thin out. Curious I went and looked at the monitor that shows the times of trains. Everything was cancelled over to Sweden for the coming two hours. It actually turned out to be three but we didn't know that then. Urgh. Time to catch a taxi.
When I found out where the Swedish taxis went from I went back down to the platform to help my wife, who being very kind hearted was helping a dear old Swedish lady in her 70s called Anna-Karin. We asked her if she wanted to share a taxi with us over to Malmö which she readily agreed to. To get from the platform and up to the taxi rank you need to take one of those angled moving walkways. Unfortunately Anna-Karin stumbled whilst trying to get on it, falling over her suitcase. I quickly hit the emergency stop button, explained to a grumpy man why I had done it and helped my wife who was helping this dear old lady up. We eventually got to the taxi rank where Ali, our chauffeur, unleashed his inner-F1 driver on the Öresund bridge. I've only crossed that bridge before on the train, never in a car, so was quite looking forward to the experience. Sadly I didn't have much time to enjoy the views as we topped out at 145km/h thanks to Ali's rather heavy right foot.
When we were dropped off at the carpark where our car was located we asked Anna-Karin (who has lived most of her adult life in Milan, Italy and was just back for a few months whilst her apartment block was renovated) if she'd like to travel with us as her home town of Varberg was on the way to our place. Again she readily agreed at which point I told her she shouldn't be so trusting strangers at her age. She said she trusted us as we walked into a totally dark underground carpark to find our car had gone!
Well gone and gone but it wasn't where I had thought I had parked it. Dumbfounded I spluttered out "but I parked it here!" and apologised to Anna-Karin and repeatedly tried to reassure her that we hadn't led her into a (now lit) underground torture chamber. Petra whipped out her phone, looked at the app for the car which stated the car was right where we stood but it wasn't there. It was then that I remembered I had parked on the first level underground and not the second which was where we stood. Phew.... Car found.
As we left Malmö we got to know Anna-Karin over a shared bag of gummy bears. Turns out she had been to my work place (a conference center) at the start of the 1960s and really loved it there. Soon it started to rain. And boy did it rain. And thunder. The thunder storm stayed in front of us for the two hour drive (which turned into 2 hours 30 minutes due to the heavy rain) to Varberg. Some of the lightning had all three of us going "ooh" and "ahh". In fact it was probably the second best lightning storm I've seen with lightning streaking through clouds before diverting down in a forked approach to the ground. Truly amazing. We dropped Anna-Karin off, said our goodbyes and continued to drive up to Gothenburg, through it and finally to our home. I finally crawled into bed at 2am, having been awake 21 hours, of which nine were spent driving. What a day. Only got four hours sleep as the car was due into it's M.O.T. at 7am so was pretty much zombified for the rest of the working day. So yeah, planes, trains and automobiles...... If you've gotten this far, thanks for sticking with me lol!
Well, where do I start? It was Missy's 13th birthday last Wednesday. We had hired a field out for private use and ordered some special baked goodies for her, it was to be a fun day to celebrate her turning 13. Only it didn't plan out that way. Moments after this picture was taken Missy jumped clear off the bale, landed awkwardly and immediately held her back left leg up. She didn't cry or otherwise act in pain, seemed to carry on actually so we assumed it was a bad sprain. She hobbled along very carefully, not weight bearing on this leg, but still eager for her treats and continued her walk without us knowing the extent of her injuries.
We left after a further 30 mins and on returning home she became very withdrawn and spaced out. Still unable to bear weight on that leg and it was decided we should take her to the vet after advice from them during a phone call. Get to the vet and she's shaking violently as she's super stressed during vet visits but was being a good girl. On inspection the vet immediately comments that she thinks it's a fracture as she can feel bone crunching in her leg. Missy was incredibly brave, despite being in absolute agony. Not a peep from her. Anyway, we return home with pain meds and the advice to return the next morning for x-rays. Over night she was whining somewhat and very unsettled. The next morning we are referred to the Veterinary Hospital in the city. Missy was very stressed again and very difficult to examine as she was wrestling and resisting, but after some time and realising she was better behaved on the floor rather than the table, these other vets thought it felt more like a dislocated knee than a fracture and that she wasn't showing obvious signs of pain. They decided to keep her in and x-ray her. Later on that day I receive the news that the x-ray shows she has NO fracture or break to her bone as feared, but she has ruptured her cruciate ligaments and possibly damaged her meniscus too. The vet said her symptoms and behaviour even fooled her a little! She said she was in a huge amount of pain. So, with further discussion it's suggested she needs surgery and that they should keep her in overnight, ready for surgery the next day hopefully. However, come the next day I receive a call that things have taken a turn for the worse and Missy had been sick throughout the early hours of the morning and had bloody diarreah. I was fearing the worst at this stage, I really was as it just seemed like a downward spiral. The vet was to uncomfortable to put her under anaesthetic due to how ill she was feeling. So we bought her home on the advice she has strict crate rest. She was SO ill yesterday - shallow and noisy breathing, dazed, drooling, shaking violently, cold to the touch. She refused all food and continued to have bloody diarreah. She was supervised carefully throughout the day and night, given her pain meds, and by today she had perked up considerably! No more sickies, and whilst she still has some diarreah it's no longer bloody!
So, that's where we're at really. Missy still refusing most food, but looking brighter and us just waiting for a rescheduled surgery date. It's been super stressful and worrying, but fingers crossed she can make a full recovery x
A Fresh Start.
Which isn't going to plan so far. I took this photo and a few hours later I had a nasty fall outside a supermarket.
I think I have badly sprained my wrist but there is no way I am going to Covid Central (local hospital) to find out! :)
Sprains, strains, aches and pains - it happens to all of us as we get older.
candid street shot, Pero's bridge, Bristol, England.
I may not get out for a few days as I fell out the back door yesterday and have sprained my ankle boo hoo :((
Just before taking this picture I fell down, sprained my ankle badly, rolled on the floor, and almost finished in the water. Hopefully the result was worth :-)
I went hiking yesterday in Forest Park. Hiking, for the first time since my sprained ankle. It felt good. Great, even, to be out. I couldn't help but notice early signs of Autumn... leaves sprinkling the trail, crackling underfoot. A crisper bite to the air, an earlier dusk to the evening. And as much as I always look forward to the seasons changing, part of my heart always longs for them each to last a little longer, to resist the relentless gravitation of time, to prolong the marching years.
In this case, I will miss (most of all) Summer's wildflowers, and the way my hands never get cold (three out of four seasons they're ridiculously chilled), and especially the long, drowsy, sun-filled evenings, the ones spent reading with the white curtains waving at the windowsill. I will miss the high mountain trails as they fill up with snow, I will miss the abundance of fresh berries to be had, and I will miss the roses blooming forth from every yard in the city.
But Fall, oh Fall. You with your mercurial skies, your towering white clouds and swift cold winds, your flashes of quickening color, your thunderous downpours. I look forward to quietly wandering about with you, to hot mugs of apple cider and frosted pumpkin cookies, to soft cotton hoodies and cozy arm-warmers, to your cool evenings runs, to your flannel sheets, your football games, your pumpkin patches and your harvest moons.
And this image? Well, this leaf wasn't really falling. It was held delicately above the trail by a spiderweb, twirling in the last light of the day. I marveled at it, photographed it, and then left it where it was, the symbol of a season on the brink of change.
Oh, and? I've always loved this song, but I'm particularly pleased to hear it being sung by Mumford & Sons. We'd up and fly if we had wings for flyin'...
Just when I thought life could not get more challenge, I fell down the fucking stairs! Went to Maple Leaf Dairy Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt for some cappuccino ice cream. Day went from hell to heaven in less than 24 hours: www.suziethefoodie.com/to-hell-and-heaven/
(Panthera leo) B28I8320 Shawu - Kruger NP very South - South Africa
They were 4 lionesses for a Wildebeest. Two of them got injured legs (sprain or broken bones ?). To be injured is very bad for predators as they will not be able to hunt. Fortunately they were 4 in the group and they use to help each other.
Lions can be injured by horns or hoofs, but most of the time it is by rolling with their prey and bumping into rocks or trees.
My guide in Shawu, Sifiso explained to me that predators choose their prey according to the number of members in their group or the young to feed.
So, a Wildebeest is perfect for 4 to 6 Lioness. Wildebeest are the more easy to hunt, not very fast and not very clever. It could be also a Waterbuck, a Topi, a Kudu or a Gemsbok (depending of the area)
4 to 6 lions will rather choose a buffalo, more powerful and more difficult to land or a Zebra (hard to get too).
And for a couple Lion and Lioness, it could be enough with an Impala.
Impalas are the favorite target for Leopards, Wilds Dogs and also Cheetahs (the only species able to run faster than an impala). Impalas are about 152.000 in Kruger. Wildebeest are 10.000, Zebras are 28.000, Buffalos 37.000, Kudus 14.000, and Waterbucks 5.000.
For 1.700 Lions; 1.000 Leopards; 120 Cheetahs and 120 Wild Dogs. Cheetahs and Wild Dogs are mercilessly hunted by Lions and Leopards for competitive reasons.
Il y avait 4 lionnes pour un gnou. Deux d'entre elles se sont blessées aux pattes (entorse ou fracture?). Se blesser est très mauvais pour les prédateurs car ils ne peuvent plus chasser. Heureusement, elles étaient 4 dans le groupe et elles ont l'habitude de s'entraider.
Les lions peuvent être blessés par des cornes ou des sabots, mais la plupart du temps, c'est en roulant avec leurs proies et en se cognant contre des rochers ou des arbres.
Mon guide à Shawu, Sifiso m'a expliqué que les prédateurs choisissent leur proie en fonction du nombre de membres de leur groupe ou des jeunes à nourrir.
Ainsi, un gnou est parfait pour 4 à 6 lionnes. Les gnous sont les plus faciles à chasser, pas très rapides et pas très malins. Ce pourrait être aussi un Waterbuck (Cobe), un Topi ou un Gemsbok (Oryx), (selon la région)
4 à 6 lions choisiront plutôt un buffle, plus puissant et plus difficile à mettre au sol.
Et pour un couple Lion et Lionne, un Impala peut suffire.
Les impalas sont la cible préférée des léopards, des chiens sauvages et des guépards (la seule espèce capable de courir plus vite qu'un impala). Heureusement les Impalas sont plus de 150.000 sur le Parc Kruger.
Les Gnous sont 10.000, les Zèbres : 28.000, les Buffles : 37.000, les Koudous : 14.000, et 5.000 Cobes à croissant.
Pour 1.700 Lions; 1.000 Leopards; 120 Guépards and 120 Lycaons. Les Guépards et les Lycaons sont impitoyablement chassés par les Lions et les Léopards pour des raisons de concurrence.
It pains me to look at these photos, poor thing. This Lorikeet had been injured and if you see in the pic it appears to be his foot that is broken or sprained. I was in contact with a local wildlife carer who told me to keep an eye on it and if I could catch it to bring it in, I was unable to catch it. So I watched and hand fed the bird some grevillea blossoms and water, he seemed ok with that. Last weekend was terribly hot and on Sunday the temps reached 43C.
Poor thing went to ground and hid under a pile of wood I have in the backyard. I was outside for some reason around lunch time and I could hear it screeching, I ran down and I could not believe my eyes the Lorikeet was being attacked by a Blue Tongue Lizard - I raced to get my garden gloves and ran back, he was deep in the bromeliads and I was pushing them down so he could climb out, while this thing was pulling at him, he came toward me and I grabbed him. Phew! I thought he was safe and promptly took him to the carer who administered pain relief, re hydration fluid and Lorrie food.
It seems the blue tongue inflicted one too many injuries on this bird or it already was too injured and he died overnight.
What a loss I felt, I had been keeping a close eye on this bird for a few days as was the birds partner or sibling (prev pic). The rescue out of the broms was also very frantic and I could not be sure if it was a Blue Tongue, it could have been a snake for all I know.. all I could see is the wriggling and colour of the creature. After all Blue Tongues do not eat birds do they???
I will upload a more positive shot of Rainbows shortly.
