FINALLY, GOT THAT IMAGE!!!
Hey all,
Today I am older. I've been on the planet for some time now but realize that there is still much that I haven't experienced. So, a few nights back I gave myself the experience of serious personal injury.
While running in a quest for better personal fitness I jammed my foot into a gopher hole at the side of the running path and twisted up my ankle. The Vital joint made a sound like wet celery being twisted. I came close to breaking it and though that I might have but after some X-rays and about six hours in the E.R. I found it was a severe sprain (which is bruising nicely now) and the doctors recommended it be immobilized.
So, I hobble now on crutches, I am bad at it. However its a new experience....I think this is the worst injury I've ever sustained. Short of a few Broken hearts and the occasional bruised ego.. For this I am thankful, because with my diminished mobility I realize how much I've taken simple acts of walking, or standing for granted.
I have an image to go with this post I'll put it up soon.
Thanks for keeping in touch everybody.
Sincerely,
Pedro

Hey limpy.
Several years ago I snapped my Achilles tendon right in two.
Three months in plaster.
Two days on crutches was so unbearable that I got a wheel chair instead.
It was a strange experience.
Whoa. Sounds Bad Elliot, But, its good to know that your up and around again.
I just feel kinda silly about all of this. I was getting really gung ho about getting in shape...I do a really through stretch before my run. I go out.....and dumb luck does this to me...
herm.
