owie news

[andpuff]

My GP called this morning.  Apparently I've knocked off two 3 milimeter pieces of bone -- one from each side of my ankle.  She has no idea how I've managed to do that but one came off with a wrenched tendon and one with a ligament.  Right at the moment, there's nothing stabilizing my ankle so we're heading into the city this afternoon for a lace-up

/me hugs and offers another "poor sweet baby"

This is like the tame version of 'entertain your local forensic technician'?

Feel much better soon.

Poor sweet baby! That really sounds like a major owie. I'm so sorry you are hurting.

And, once again, I have to ask - Are you sure we aren't related?

As for the drugs not living up to the hype, any time you involve bone breakage it doesn't work as well. Next time go for the double play with Valium as suggested above.
Actually, don't try for a next time, just take it on faith. ;)

See you in Spokane.

Good luck and good healing!

poor poor sweetie baby, wow you really did a number.

they said 6 weeks which really means 8 weeks and with a really good massage therapist who understand ankle scar tissue ( save some morphine!) you will be good as new in 6 months.

but seriously do not do not push yourself. if your doing a con be prepared to ice often. put that into your appearance contract. you will do more damage by stressing the ankle before it is completely healed.

when i asked dr bob passovoy (sp) about a sprained finger he said " 6 to 8 weeks". when i asked about a leg muscle damage he said "6 to 8 weeks".
now when clients damage something minor i say "6 to 8 weeks" then we mark the calender because about week 5 they start to think.."it must be better now!" use it and reinjury..
