Being all black and blue like that you might want to have it looked at. Could be a fracture.

So had a great day riding with our friends Kevin and Dawn today. We did 145 miles in an afternoon.
We stopped at a covered bridge for a break and as we were leaving I stopped to look at the entrance to get back on the road.

A slanted drive emptying out onto a curve banking away from us. Did I say a Slanted drive.
As I came to a stop my left foot did not find the ground until the bike was leaning over and the weight got away from me.

Emma does a slow motion fall to the ground. As I am holding in the clutch I see the astonishment on her face. Our eyes meet and her expression changes to that WTH look only a wife can give her husband.

Dawn goes to Emma's aid. I hit the kill switch and gather my nerve. Emma is ok and I raise the bike back to its wheels just like on the videos for lifting a heavy bike.

Not a mark on the bike. You can tell Triumph designed it for just this incident. You know they were thinking,"this is a heavy mother." Anyway back on the road we go with more stories to tell.

Nothing hurt but my pride.

Have you heard of Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation - best to do it immediately after injury but even a day later it does make a big difference to your recovery.

Says up to 72 hours to commence for an effect here:
R.I.C.E. - Rest Ice Compression Elevation - Injury Treatment - PhysioAdvisor

At least fill a teatowel with ice from the freezer and wrap around your ankle - to avoid ice damage to skin make sure you have a damp cloth between ice and flesh or you can get a burn like frost bite and move the contact point at least every 30 minutes.
