I hope nothing is broken. I walked around on an ankle with a bone chunk floating around in there for four or five months before I went t to the doc to find out why it stayed sore and kept swelling. The doc put a cast on it after the surgery because I am a farmer and farmers don't follow doctor's orders to stay off it for awhile. Any other person would not have been casted. Just sayin.
 
Hope your ankle feels better, been since march of 2001 since I had been in that part of the world, was at the Holiday Inn in Clarksville IN for the Missouri Auction School, one of my only times of traveling away from home! LOL
 
One of those moments you will cherish the older you get.. NEVER too busy to enjoy those grandkids.. Glad you too the time and the ankle held out to make it.
Yes the bridge is nice.
 
Last time I crossed the river there must of been about 8 years ago, seemed to be a big bottle neck, lots of semis full throttle, scary and then south of Lexington on 75? was a truck racetrack. Stop/go traffic for miles , van off the road went off one creek bank head on in to the other, suitcases, pillows, junk everwhere. Traffic gets going again in a few miles and back to the race again.
 
I am sure this bridge is much different than the one I crossed in 64-66 when I was at Knox.

Sounds like you need some epsom salts and nuprin.
