My Left Foot

[shipofools999]

I usually don't pay any attention to my ankles. I think that my legs are one of my best features but my ankles and feet are just normal. Until my ankle goes away. One time my ankles swelled to a point where it looked like my legs ran directly into my foot. It felt like it destroyed my best feature. How can my legs look good if they don't end right

I was scary calm? Cool! I knew the calm thing but I didn't realize it was scary. It appears that when it is a crisis, I am able to deal with things very intellectually.

I seem like such a Drama Queen when it isn't that major but that is the way it feels. It feels like the world is ending.

When it is major, then things just need to be done. There is no drama.

I remember your post about falling with K. I figured she gives you a +4 to your dex roll so she can end up on top of a fall like that. Mommy a good squishy landing pad. The only problems is when they jump up and down when it is over and say "Do it again, do it again, Weeeee"

wow. Hey fellow gimpy!

hope you heal well, and try to get them to give you one of the cool canes when you graduate to cane (the wood kind that they have to cut to your size, not the adjusta-metal granma cane!)

Heal well, heal fast, and try to remember lots of us out here are willing to help if you need it.

Your experience with this sounds rather similar to my experience with a broken toe last year.

"Oooooooowwwwwww! World Over... wait for it wait for it.... ngh...
Okay okay, no big deal, right?
Eep, that's not what my foot is supposed to look like!
Hmm, crutches are harder than I thought.
Well this is an adventure!
Um... an adventure that kinda sucks..."

*gentle virtual hugs* I'd offer help, but realistically there's nothing I can contribute that you don't have covered. Except perhaps a whole lotta colorful sharpies with which to draw on your cast?

People just smile when I pull out the pack of colored sharpies I carry with me everywhere. It is very me. :)

Your quotes are very accurate.

Yoik, that sounds annoying! Glad to hear that you're handling it okay, and that there are folks to help out (and distract you with making pimped out crutches! :)

[shipofools999]

Sadly, everyone I listed (with one addition) is the sum total of the assistance I have. And I am concerned about wearing them out.

Sadly, my crutches never got pimped out. My cast has a few neat things on it and it will be going on the wall in a little over a week.

Oh, that doesn't sound fun at all. Hope it heals quickly and you're out of pain soon!
