My back, right hip and leg have given me random amounts of pain for the entire trip. However, during our full day mountain hike, I was presented with an opportunity to jump from the river bank over a river to a muddy island. I sensed a decent photo op from that muddy patch in the middle of the river.
Was I up to it? Would I collapse in pain on landing and ruin my camera in the river? Could I jump back afterwards?
It was about 6 feet. I think I can do it. I think I can.
OMG I did it!
A few days later I found myself running with each step landing firmly on the next uneven rock. No volcanic beach sand on these feet today.
If this trip did little else, it may have put my back firmly on the road to recovery.
