Hardly an Episode of House.

I went to the doctor this morning and discovered that my ankle is not b0rked. I didn't really think it was, but it still hurts like hell and is still all swollen and icky. I had xrays and much twisting and manipulation of the hello already painful ankle to determine that it is a severe sprain, and now I have a super sexy splint thingy. I'm

Glad it's not b0rked, dude. That would be even worse.

How long do you hafta wear the splint?

[trista]

Until the pain stops. I didn't think to ask for the pain-to-days conversion. She did say at one point that I could probably expect another two weeks of this, though. You can imagine my delight.

This splint thing? I embody hawtness when I'm wearing it. I may never stop.

is it a ginormous boot? or is it just the white plastic with the air pads inside and the huge velcro straps?

[trista]

White plastic but with gel pads, which I've chosen to believe are cooler than air pads. Yes on the huge velcro straps. I wish I had one for the other foot.

It says SPRINT on the front. I cannot tell you how funny I find that. I currently travel at the pace of an arthritic snail. Not so much with the sprinting right now.

I had my flu shot days ago and my arm still hurts!

[trista]

I keep forgetting I had it and bumping my arm. Ow! I'm excited to have had the shot this year, though. For the last six or seven years I've forgotten until well into flu season when everyone is out of flu shots, and I've just had to take my chances. This year I feel as though I've scored something spectacular. Watch me get sick anyway. That would be just my luck. ;)

*shifty eyes* I have leftover scripts of T3 I could send!

(Kidding, obviously!!!)

Thank goodness it's Friday. It's going to reach the 40's tonight which is lovely weather for flannel PJs and hot cocoa and copious amounts of kitty cuddles. Yes yes.

Hope your ankle feels better quickly!
