The picture may be a little hard to make out so I thought I come right out and let you know that the foot and giant bag of ice belong to Dianne.
A corporate Ernst and Young "Olympic" event designed to build teamwork turned into a battle for all the older partners trying not to get injured. Dianne, thinking she was 29 or so, vaulted over, under and probably through a huge air filled obstacle. As she exited the structure, it was quickly apparent that her foot was "not quite right". Several minutes later, the ankle started to swell and it became painful to stand on.
Upon her return home, the swelling got worse and a whole lot of icing and nice wine did little to alleviate the pain. Our attempts to humor and otherwise make fun of her also did little to fix the problem, but we did have a good laugh or two.
The next morning she was still in a lot of pain, so off to the doctor she went. The prognosis was a bad sprain, but it was unusual to have a patient hit the roof after touching the affected area. Doctor's orders paraphrased, "take a whole bunch of anti-inflammatories, ice and rest the foot, and if it still really hurts in a week, come on back".
It's now a couple of days later and she appears to be on the road to recovery. As to those other partners suffering from pulled back muscles and other such ailments, we are not so sure.
