Saturday evening MJ and I spent a final meal together before my trip, breaking the fast following Yom Kippur. On Sunday we went to the Asian Art Museum to visit the Cyrus Cylinder and In The Moment exhibits.
The Cyrus Cylinder exhibit was small and busy, but the history geek in me loved it.
Accompanying the cylinder, they also had other artifacts from the time period and region.
I uploaded a few more photos from the exhibit here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pleia2/sets/72157635624257963/
We weren’t really familiar with the In The Moment exhibit before getting to the museum, and I’m not super into Japanese art, but I do love animal art and this exhibit had a lot of it, so it was a pretty captivating.
Sunday evening I was headed to the airport for my work trip to Seattle, where I am now. The weather has been beautiful most of the week and we’ve got a considerable amount of great work done here, which I’ll write about later. Unfortunately on Tuesday morning I was a bit sleepier than I should have been as I made the short walk to the office and missed a step coming out of the hotel, down I went! Scraped my knee and hurt my ankle, but I limped to the office, just a twisted ankle, I’m fine!
Well, I wasn’t fine. Swelling, bruising and more pain followed that evening and Wednesday morning, at lunch on Wednesday I finally decided to see a doctor, which is how I ended up cabbing it to a U.S. HealthWorks Urgent Care center.
I was pretty apprehensive about going to some random care center in a city I’m not familiar with selected based on acceptance of my insurance and proximity to the office, but I totally lucked out. The center was clean, staff was friendly and efficient and within an hour of arriving I had x-rays done and a diagnosis in hand. Nothing broken, just a bad sprain. They provided a simple brace to keep it stable and I’m to give it rest for a few days, take Advil and add a dose of ice and elevation as I can. So I’ve managed to hobble around this week and thanks to the Advil the pain has been kept to a dull roar. It’s getting better, I still can’t put all my weight on it but this evening the swelling was down and the visible bruising is fading.
Tomorrow is my last day at the office here and I have some work to get done in the morning. Tomorrow evening I fly home! Saturday I’ll be spending prepping for the OpenStack Workshop I’m hosting on Sunday.
