Dr. Ron administers first aid




Never underestimate the way in which you can use a bungee cord! It worked great, until I couldn't feel my toes anymore! Back in February, we did a 4 1/2 mile bike trip to a local Lowes hardware store to check out various appliance manufacturers. We had a very strong wind with us on the way down. Coming back it was brutal and it literally stopped forward progress twice. We thought of calling some friends who had cars at the marina, but then decided we could push through. Well, the ole' Achilles Tendon hasn't been the same since. I saw our doctor when we were home for Easter and he recommended an MRI. The scheduling did not work out and when we come ashore, that may have to be a priority. In the meantime, after a walk, ice helps (when it isn't being constricted with a bungee cord, that is) :-)))
