Re: just need to vent

Hey...just saw this post...sorry to hear about all that  
About three years ago I broke my ankle (in 6 places) and tore almost all the ligaments/tendons except the Achilles while playing softball. Had to wait from Thursday night until Monday morning to have surgery, then couldn't go to work for another 10 days, until I begged the Dr. to OK it. Daytime TV sucks   I had to be in a wheelchair with my leg up for 5 more weeks. I used up all my sick time as well as most of my vacation time. I work retail on commission so paychecks were very thin for a while (although I got a few "pity" sales). It will be rough for a while, but it will only make you stronger, and appreciate everything you have  :wink:

Only 5 weeks?

I snapped both my fib and tib and tore ankle tendons whilst playing Rugby in the UK. I was in plaster for 4 months!!

I dont have an xray. :(  They took 30+ Xrays, so youd have thought i could have kept one.

Yep, just 5 weeks in the wheelchair, then 6 weeks on crutches, then 6 weeks in one of those really attractive "boots". Loads of fun

Re: just need to vent

Reba, did it have tennis balls on the feet? and a pillow strapped to it for rest stops?

Re: just need to vent

lol no pillows, no tennis balls...although it would have moved better with the tennis balls lol.  Actually, I didn't worry about the walker then.  I just think back now....
I am very thankful that I am moving better now.  Occassionally it's back to where it was before I decided to lift the dogfood... the pain I mean.  Thank you everyone for your well wishes.  I really appreciate it!!!

:dance:  Thank you Virginia....
This has been my moral support.  Although... i think I shoulda say my MORALE support because morals...well, um... *giggles*  just kidding y'all.
Life works out in strange ways.  I go back for one week and then I have spring break, so I get to rest a little bit longer.  And guess what? my bday falls during spring break.  What better kind of bday present could I ask for
I love y'all and appreciate the pm's and well wishes.

Reba... I'd put a string of pearls right in your hand
Make love on a beach of jet like sand
Outside in the rain, we can do it all night

I'll touch all the places he would not
And some you never knew would get you hot
Nothing is forbidden, when we touch

Reba......, I wanna do
All of, the things your man wont wont do  8O
Reba......., I wanna do
All of, the things your man wont wont do  8O

I'll light up all the candels all around
Show me to the subway I'll go down
Nothing can be sweeter, than the sound of making love
Baby when I start I just cant stop
I love you from the bottom to the top
Nothing is forbidden, when we touch

8O

You Giggling Yet?
