Get Her Words Out

Is this just me?

I don't know if this says something about how empathetic I am or just how crazy I am, but I have noticed that when I have an injury like this there is a small part of my brain that expects the people in the books I'm reading and on the TV shows I'm watching to have the same injury.

I was watching Numb3rs last night and somebody jumped up and moved across a room and for just an instant the thought, "how did he do that, didn't that hurt like hell?" ran through my mind.  The same thing happened with the novel that I'm reading, the narrator described taking some action and for just a second I was confused because there was no way I could take that action with the way my foot hurts.

Does this happen to other people?  Or is this one more way that I'm kinda strange?

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.

Sometime last week, I don't remember exactly when, I slipped on some ice and while trying to catch myself I apparently twisted my foot in a weird way and damaged the peroneus tetius (tertius?) tendon in my right foot.

The pain built gradually, until last night when I went pretty quickly from being able to limp around to not being able to put any weight on that foot at all.

I guess the only way to treat it is to stay off of it and hope that it gets better.  I go back to the doctor in a week to see if it's improved any.  In the mean time I'm getting around by using a desk chair like a scooter and rolling all over the house.  The doctor wouldn't give me crutches because, with all the ice around, he thinks that they are too dangerous.

Since the desk chair thing doesn't work real well outside the house, I'm stuck at home for at least the next few days.  Maybe I'll rent some movies from iTunes.

I hope to have something to post soon, it seems lately that all I've been able to write are snarky blog comments and letters to the editor.

Buffy Season Eight #10 "Anywhere But Here"

[Three good quotes this month]

Willow:  "It's too dangerous!  We can ski down these crazy alps in the morning, but till then, television's Tina Fey. . .We must find a way to keep warm.

---------------

Buffy:  "Hey, the demons are after us, the humans are after us, this whole "twilight" thing is looking very creepy and hey, faith tried to kill me again!  My grip on reality is not that grippy.  I'm protective of it."

---------------

Xander:  "Dawnie, stop.  You are hearby found guilty of being a cliche.  And that's it!  You ever see the first guy Buffy slept with in college?"

Dawn:  "Riley?"

Xander:  "Oh how she wishes."

Since I haven't been writing lately. . .
