That ankle is why I'm self employed to begin with. I broke it really badly a few (5ish?) years ago & all I'm qualified to do on paper are jobs that require me being on my feet - 15 years as a chef, 7 years working at ski resorts, etc. Well work comp screwed me, they refused surgery, physical rehab & even tried to go after me for the ambulance ride down the mountain. Not quite bad enough to get disability, but bad enough that I can't do any of those things any more. So I have my shop & I have a 100 mile long rural newspaper route to help when the shop is slow & for fun money when the shop is busy.

And it wasn't that big of a box, it was just a double punt to where it needed to be.. even if I wasn't ...... I would've probably kicked it since my hands were full. I probably gave it a little extra gusto from the frustration & managed to hit it in the just wrong spot with the just wrong spot of my foot. I'm not going to the hospital since I already know what they're going to do to me & I've got all that stuff here. Soft cast, walking cast, crutches, a super awesome cane (but no top hat :( ). I also have EMT training from working on the ski patrol. That coupled with stubbornness will get me through... and some Advil. And some Dr. Peeber. Ahh yes. Pabst makes every thing better.

Edit: Anyone have a top hat I could borrow?

i have a lot of hats but no top hats, unfortunately. sorry to hear about your mishap, dear. :(

Aww thank you. It's hard to say how bad it is until morning. My guess is I just hairlined one of the old breaks - the original injury basically shattered the talus. With a little luck I'll just be hobbling around on my cane for a few weeks.

If you lived in A) Hawaii B) southern Cal C) southern Florida = maybe
Montana in January = uhm, NO

Um... we're having a warm spell... it's safe. I promise. The -20 to -30F passed by a couple weeks ago. I dare say it's above 0 outside right now. I thought I saw a palm tree sprouting in the back yard this afternoon.

that's fine....at least you don't call it kelli'sbuns. :p

Umm... *sheepishly raises hand* Where do I order that? :D
