5. I punctured the bottom of my foot 7 weeks ago on the end of an
AC/DC adapter (thanks WannaBe) and it "disrupted" the Plantar FAc-whatever it is and dislocated some bones in my foot. I'm an idiot, eh?

I actually feel pretty good. It was actually not what I expected to hear. I fought like the dickens about it, and got him to hold off on the cast so I could get some work done.


You're so lame, but I love you anyway. :hug: :loveya: :hi:

32. Not again. It's the same puncture from earlier this summer.
If I had done that again, I would make MrG take me out back and shoot me. :D :hug:

26. Nooooo!
Sounds like something I'd do, though. I once bashed myself in the foot with a wooden cane during a stage performance. Made it pretty hard to stay in character, but I did! I had to get x-rays the next day, but hadn't actually broken anything. Most of the top of my foot turned purple, though.

38. Ouchy!!!
:hug: That sounds painful!

With my klutzy ways, I am my family's comic relief. A few years ago I broke my foot by walking across the floor. Sigh... :hi:

48. I went away for 5 days
and didn't have any time to get online. I was going through withdrawl, but I had a wonderful time.

Now it's back to work and they're trying to kill me. x(

But overall I'm doing very well. I'm in a surprisingly cheerful mood, I haven't maimed anyone yet, and I am stopping by to see my nephew this afternoon.

He's grown, and he's allowed to do whatever he wants, but he went away for 2 weeks without telling any of us. We all sort of freaked out when we couldn't get in touch with him. He didn't even bring his cell phone. I'm the closest, so I get to stop buy and give him the family lecture about staying in touch and not disappearing without giving us all the details about where he'll be.

He knows the lecture is coming and he thinks it's cool that we were worried about him. He feels loved, so he'll take the lecture well. :)

Life is good right now.

Thom

41. Crazy, eh? I was hoping to get an all clear on the infection, and he
said the MRI caught the dislocation and disruption. BUT, good news is, infection is fading. I'm almost good as new...or newer at least. :D :hug: How was the first day of kindergarten for the triplets?

43. The triplets *LOVED* their first day of kindergarten....
and were eager to go back today. The teacher said that they are very sweet children, but surprisingly different from each other (oh, yes, they are).

I hope that you don't suffer any more complications from your accident. :hug:
