They all fall down go boom

[cornerofmadness]

I was feeling all cocky because I got a parking place in front of the Dynasty for dinner and even more improbable I got one right in front of the Donkey coffee house. There was even one at home a wee bit out but still good...and then my ankle gave out on the walk to the house. I fell over NOTHING. This is the third time in a week and a half. Last week I thought it was my clogs since it's a slight heel but tonight it was my cross trainers. It IS my weak ankle every time. I shattered it as a kid and they didn't rehab ankles back then. But this time was bad. I nearly ended up in the gravel. I pulled my shoulder (the 'good' one which isn't good either) and my ankle is purple and swollen. It has an ice pack but man i wish I had a foot stool.

Speaking of shoulders, mine is improving in pain and strength. Most of the bad pain is gone and I've moved up to a tougher theraband. BUT my range of motion still blows. I DO need to talk to my surgeon (in two weeks) and tell him I can do it when I hold the cane but on my own i can't get my arm to go back. That's disturbing.

And once again to prove what I can do without internet distraction, I wrote nearly 5K today. Killing Ayako took little time but the aftermath, oh yes, it is full of angst...and now I'm going to have too much story before Luc gets it and not enough after his change. Huzzah. I suck.

I am vaguely upset with the dynasty though. (Points up to the beginning of the post). It's frequented by very few Caucasians and by a huge chunk of OU's Asian students. Well I went online tonight trying to decide what I wanted to eat...and there is a whole menu of yummies that they do not offer in house and it's adventurous stuff. I'm wondering if they think Americans wouldn't want it. I don't think I can get across I would like to see that menu when I get there (let's just say English is very much a second language). Wonders what would happen if I called it in?

Kanda is PISSED I was gone for 14 hours.

It's my right knee. it's been operated on several times. Okay I've broken both knees, both ankles and dislocated both shoulders (mostly doing dumb ass things when I was young and healthy).

thanks. same to you.

Big yay for writing

Oh Hon!

So sorry about your fall! :( Maybe after the swelling goes down you can try a compression sock?

And...what does Kanda DO exactly, when pissed? We put an air freshener (one that sprays scent) into the cat room. The other day I turned it up higher since Animal Control was coming to inspect, and forgot to turn it back down.

The result? Cash pooped all over the room overnight. Poor guy...

I've got it wrapped up and in an air cast (left over from my podiatry days. At least I'm well stocked for this sort of crap)

Mostly he just sits there and gives me the stink eye. Or bites my ankle.

oops poor Cash

Owwwww. Have you thought about investing in one of those plastic bubbles?

Indeed I have.
