Still suffering from a bouldering accident injury happened
August 2016, I made a green signal to my fellow hikers to lead the much
anticipated Maclehose hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park Hong Kong, China.
A month prior to our Feb 24-25 2017 Maclehose hiking, I tried
rambling the “Kurangga Trail” back home.
Though still in pain, I managed to negotiate the slippery-muddy terrain
of “todas”, somehow good indication that I can bear the similar terrain of the
Maclehose trail.
I was 2 sessions short of my foot therapy schedule but I had
my doctor’s approval to leave for the hike. He just noted down some
instructions on how I should prepare my foot for the hiking activities.
20 minutes warm water soak early morning of Feb 24; 10
minutes warm-up/barefoot walk pain management before putting my hiking shoes on.
By 6:30am of Feb 24 I was up and about for hiking.
Fifteen minutes passed 11:00 in the evening, I finally took
my shoes off and had cold compress around my injured right foot.
By 5:00 am the next morning, I need to do 20 minutes warm
water soak again, then some more barefoot walking before putting my shoes
on. I was in pain due to the rigorous
tramping we did earlier, but still coped with the activities.
