Ouch.

Diagnosis: fracture of the fibula lateral malleolar.
Doesn’t that sound like a cookie? Malleolars with milk. Mmmmm.
It’s that bone that sticks out of your ankle that looks like an elbow. It’s tiny, but it hurts like a son of a gun. I’ll be hobbling around on crutches for four weeks. Awesome.
Big thanks to my blogger homies who sent me messages and stuff to cheer me up. You folks are the best!

Okay, we have already agreed our mothers need to spend some time together. Now, it’s you and my wife.
Think 8.5 months pregnant, walking down the deck steps to the backyard. The ankle snaps. A metal plate and seven screws (they call them “pins”; ha!) later, up and at ‘em.
You two can talk about this stuff while the rest of us hide and have a beer.
Are you better yet?

Ouch is right! Just remember, Aleve is your friend. Hope you feel better soon.

It’s a bird. It’s a plane. IT’S BIONIC BLOGGER!!!!!!!! Can you like crush cars now with your super power bionic boot? “I think downsizing is great. I talked about downsizing in my interview.” And for the record I think the Murray people finally removed the restraining order because they sent me an email with his schedule in it. He REALLY DOES love me.
Feel better Divine Ms. M. The blogosphere and the Democratic Party in the nether regions where you live need a fully functional Susan!
Mike I will grab a beer with you and I can explain why Susan forced me to be so coy about my blog and her plans to run me out of town.

massmarrier - Oh wowser! Okay, Mrs massmarrier wins. My deal is just an annoyance compared to plates and screws. Mr. Beyond 495 comes close though. When we moved into our humble home here in the wilderness, the day was very rainy, so the moving ramp was very slippery and Mr. B495 went *BOOM* He broke the bones that held his foot onto the end of his leg. He’s got the whole plate and screws thing going on too. I feel very sheepish complaining because really, I got very lucky that in my advanced age, I didn’t break a hip.
Ryan - Dude. Aleve is my friend? Nuh, uh - Vicodin is my bestest buddy. Heh. Actually I’m doing the Extra-strength Tylenol thing during the day and taking vicodin only at bed time. Good times though.
Andy - I’m like Hellboy, but only with a boot instead of the big whammer fist thing. LOL at “downsizing” Heh. You must have noticed the DVDs in the picture. My newest post is from Future Susan. From time to time I like to send posts from myself. From the future.
The boot will not prevent my inevitable consolidation of power.
Hehehehehe.
