It'll hurt for a few hours or a day, but will feel better the next day. It's kind of like when you wake up with a crick in your neck. Of course, I'm not a doctor nor did I sleep in a Holiday Inn last nite.<br /><br />Hope you feel better soon.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01582990912598134354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-82459589067766937962013-07-29T18:59:45.036-05:002013-07-29T18:59:45.036-05:00Sorry the first refuge didn't work out, but by...Sorry the first refuge didn't work out, but by the looks of it, the second one paid off, making the trip worthwhile.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08333995679958103393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-28995231070067788862013-07-29T18:11:58.892-05:002013-07-29T18:11:58.892-05:00I swear that I must sleep like a pretzel..Some day...I swear that I must sleep like a pretzel..Some days I get up and it feels like I fell down the steps...and some days I can leap ...well, maybe not LEAP..out of bed...Could it possible be our age???..and why doesn't Dennis show these signs of his 71 years??

Take care of that ankle - I'd say rest is the only alternative at this point. I'm amazed how something can come up, while we're sleeping, that you'd expect only after a fall or slam into something. Take care and glad you made it to the second NWR so the trip wasn't for naught.mps2343https://www.blogger.com/profile/06059253597064329074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-89991755966898489922013-07-29T09:47:51.073-05:002013-07-29T09:47:51.073-05:00Are you sure you're not sleep walking?

Hope that ankle is just a 24 hour contrariness. Good for you to push on. Your pictures are great as always. I think I told you that the thing which got me on the road full time in the first place was a desire to visit all the NWR's. I have hardly made a dent in it though so seeing them on your blog is great. I add them to my list and hope I can find campgrounds near enough to do 2 or 3 at one time.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-14320296391517021962013-07-29T09:46:15.514-05:002013-07-29T09:46:15.514-05:00Maybe you're a secret sleepwalker, Judy, and t...Maybe you're a secret sleepwalker, Judy, and that's how you twisted your ankle!
