Feeling a bit sorry for myself this morning, time to get that positive thinking going. Left eye is blackening up nicely! My ankle is the main concern, but I really believe it is just a nasty sprain. The staff here are so attentive and very concerned for me. Had a visit from a lady from the office this morning, she wanted to call the doctor. I really don't think I need one, but feel it would put their minds at rest. Asked about crutches, will see what the doctor says.
Iced ankle for a while, then hobbled up to breakfast. The grounds here are beautiful. Breakfast was great, and the doctor arrived just as we finished. He confirmed my thoughts that it is just a nasty sprain. Having done the other ankle just before we left home, I know what to do!! So it was back to the unit and ice and elevate again. Had a quiet morning sitting on the front deck, overlooking the paddy fields, reading and generally relaxing.
Went down for an hour of massage at 1, it was lovely, but not the relaxing massage I had expected. Then caught the shuttle into Ubud. Walked around - lots of market type shops. Looked at several silver shops, but unsure about bargaining. Visited one bead store where the lady said she could 'do me a deal', so I guess it is okay to offer less than the ticketed price. Will try it tomorrow.
The footpaths are not helpful for an injured ankle, and I needed to stop regularly to rest both ankles. Found a place for afternoon tea where the dairy free coconut sorbet was so good that I actually ordered a second scoop. Next time we stopped we had an early tea, around 5:30. Then caught the 6:15 shuttle back to the hotel. Grabbed some ice for my ankle, and some honey (as recommended by one of the staff) for my lip. Quiet night in tonight.
