I'll try to keep this brief detailed updates to follow when time permits:
I'm in Hanoi now.
Shortly before leaving I sprained my ankle in Saigon.
Emily's friend Caroline is a paramedic.
I definitely failed to bring the tensor bandage I considered bringing.
Caroline knows of something called Emulgel, a contact cream that reduces pain and swelling. Between early ice, the cream, Caroline's brilliant bandage wrapping, and my paranoid obsession with elevation, I now feel as though my ankle is fine.
Unlike Saigon, almost everything in Hanoi is closed at night and the streets are dark and eerie...
... but you can find food if you limp around long enough.
My ankle only started to feel fine after I ate fried rice so maybe it helped cure my sprain.
