4th of July -- Oohs and Ows

Jul 07, 2003 16:22

The fourth of July weekend was not nearly as interesting as I would have liked, mainly due to the fact that on the evening of the 4th, as our little band (D&S and their daughter River (age 2, our little pal) headed excitedly towards a good viewing point about half a mile away, yours truly - dancing along in my somewhat platform-y shoes - stepped on ( Read more... )

be SURE you stay OFF that ankle as long as possible!! and let those fellows cook things and put your faucets in...look at pretty houses later...
it is the best thing that the boyz took you right home and put on ice!! now you will be healing much faster.

speaking from experience. did the exact same thing walking down a steep hill in austin TX on a saturday afternoon in clogs. (many years ago) said ouch. finished walking to library. walked home. went out and drank excessive margaritas and pogo'ed to B52's all night. NOT good! ankle did not heal the entire summer and sometimes even now...stiff and OW.

man that house sounds nice...

LOL. You cracked me up with your medical advice. If I want to look at any houses in the near futre, I shall have the men carry me upon a litter and lay me on the chaise longue. But when I get better, you and me, we can wear sturdy orthapedic shoes, drink margaritas and go pogo-ing!

Girl, I sprained the bottom of my foot falling off a ladder earlier this summer, ankle-and-foot-accidents are no fun! Hope you can stay propped up and let others wait on you as long as possible!

That reminds me of a story. On our honeymoon, Hubz and I were perusing a store that had a mix of modern and antique furnishings. There was a green step ladder with prettily peeling paint -- the type on which you'd place flower pots, say. I looked away for a second and when I looked back Hubz was CLIMBING the ladder. Just as I was about to say, "What the hell are you doing?" the bottom rung broke. The price tag read $250. I said, "You dope, that's a decorative ladder." Hubz bellowed, "What the fuck is a decorative ladder?" (Which is kind of a good question, when you think about it. LOL)

PS When we confessed to the nice lady, she didn't make us pay for it.
PPS Thanks for the good wishes!
