India: Patrick Tumbles

Can't believe I didn't get a shot of this, but Patrick twisted his ankle pretty badly about 1 hour after landing in Delhi. We were trying to load the luggage in the van (on top of the van, actually). And there were a bunch of people around. I think Boo mis judges the step down off the sidewalk (it was a foot), and totally screws the ankle.

Lots of pain, deep breathing didn't help - but we got him into the car, elevated the leg, and carried him in the hotel.

I must admit, visions of the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City immediately ran through my mind when he fell. That was pre-Wade's World blog; but essentially he did something to his ankle on the first night, and we hobbled through the Games. Granted we ended up with some great physically challenged seats, but initially impressions of India didn't seem to have legitimate parking spaces at all, much less a handicapped one.

Stay tuned.
