The Adventures of Emily the Clumsy

Goodness me. Lets see:

1. Housing issue is in limbo just now. I don't feel like going into it, so if you want to know more, call me.

2. I am currently bored as hell as my recent escapade in "Emily the Clumsy" has laid me up n the couch for a bit. Yes... I once again forgot how to walk and stepped poorly off a curb at the gas station. Immediately it swelled up and pain coursed through my ankle. Luckily John was with me. I was impressed with how the other people who were filling up their cars with gas asked if I was okay, if they could call me an ambulance, if they could help me somehow...if I was sure I was going to be okay.... It was actually quite nice, especially how I was just commenting the other day to a friend about how people don't even smile or say hi to you while walking/running anymore, let alone even make eye contact. It was refreshing. I didn't think about this until later... at the time I thought, "Shut up, unless you can make the pain stop!" It was the worse pain I think I've ever felt. Not that i've been really badly injured ever.....so, for me, this was the worst. It's not broken, just really badly sprained. I have an air brace and crutches, with orders to spend several days on the couch, icing and elevating.

I'm bored.

I also can't go to work tomorrow. By tuesday I'm cleared to go back, however, I will most likely still be on crutches. I can't run after and get down on the floor with crutches and get up, dance, etc. So I said Monday and Tuesday I'm gone, and we'll see about Wednesday. If I can hobble around without crutches, then I'll go back. we'll see though. It sucks, becuase I don't get sick days for ESY. SO I'm out 2 days of pay at least. COuldn't go to the wedding I had yesterday. IT hurt too much and I am not too smooth on crutches. My ankle hurts whenever its not elevated...so, yeah.

I hate having to depend on John (or anyone) for everything...help on the stairs, in the shower, getting me food, drinks, etc. Even getting me my computer (thank god for my lappie). I do have to say that he has been pretty awesome.

I have sympathy for anyone who as had to use crutches. I've just been using them to go to the bathroom and up stairs to go to bed....and my shoulders and armpits hurt.

Okay. I'm done.
