Long walk on a cold day.

Thing I've learned about injuries is listen to your body. If your body's hurting, it's trying to tell you something. In this case right here, this leg's trying to tell me not to use it. Just got to take it easy, take it one step at a time. Eventually, I'll get back, even if I get back slowly.

Made it back. Feels good to be home. I just want to get inside, take my clothes off, get some rest. Hurt seems just take my boot off. If you can't walk on snowshoes, you basically can't walk out here at this time of year. You can't get around.

Oh yeah, it's definitely swollen right in this area. I think I'm having a problem with the tendons that became inflamed because of overuse. I was snowshoeing so much. So I'm going to try heat and cold. I don't get injured very often, but when I have a problem like this, I have to take care of it myself. I can't make a trip to the doctor's office 'cause it's 200 miles down to Fairbanks, cost a few thousand to go there.

Just give it time and have patience; your body will heal itself eventually of most things that happen to you. That's all I can do is just wait, treat it as best I can, and see what happens.
