meanwhile...: Broken

29 October 2007

Broken - again.

I'm thinking about getting a foot and ankle transplant, because my feet are stupid. Last night I managed to sprain both my ankle AND my foot while walking to the bathroom.

Yes, I really am that cool.

I'm not supposed to walk on it at all for two days, which clearly is not going to happen, and then I get to use crutches! Won't that be fun? Yes, yes it will. Especially when Freya wants me to carry her.

Of course, it's not all bad, so I made a Pollyanna list:

Excuse to watch TV and be waited on my my 2 year old
Can't do laundry because it's in the basement
Won't have to carry Freya
At least the foot and the ankle are attached to the same leg

That's all I have so far, but I'm working on it. I was going to be Willy Loman from Death of a Salesman for Halloween, but now I'm trying to think of something better for which crutches are a natural prop, any ideas?

Too bad you live so far away, I'd let you borrow my broom to get around faster. ;-)

Feel better-- and thanks for the comment. I knew you would understand. ;-); October 29, 2007 at 2:44 PM

Hope you feel better soon.; October 29, 2007 at 8:50 PM
Madam Crunchypants said...: How about dressing up as some sort of athlete? Then you'd be a broken jock. You could go as a football player, or a soccer player or a hockey player.; October 29, 2007 at 9:11 PM

Cathy, Amy and Kristina said...: Ow. I hope you recover quickly. I mean, you want to recover, right? So you can hoist children and revel in the laundry.

Right?

Still in pain?

I would be too.; October 30, 2007 at 1:23 AM
Deb said...: A mummy? They have crutches sometimes. Or you could wear a t-shirt that says, "VERBAL" and see if anyone figures that out. (Verbal crutch -- HA!); October 30, 2007 at 2:11 AM
Jenn said...: You could dress up as a queen of some small, remote village, then get a wagon and have someone pull you around in it while you perfect the "parade wave." See simple!

Hope you feel better soon...sprained ankles SUCK.; October 30, 2007 at 9:32 AM
Love by Lauren said...: Oh no! I hope you feel better soon. But I was just wondering - isn't Freya like 3 now?; October 30, 2007 at 12:19 PM
Heather said...: Did you get any drugs for it?

That could be a plus.
