update on injury, among other things....

Ok, for those who didn't know---I severely sprained my ankle at work Wed. night---I stepped back away from a shelf and my ankle just collapsed under me, hit the floor and popped about 3 times by the time I grabbed a shelf to keep myself from hitting the floor......now working my way thru the lovely worker's comp system again.......

It is at the stage where I refuse to use the crutches b/c they quite honestly hurt my armpits so badly I can't stand them, and my stomach muscles feel pulled all out of place, so I am in the "boot" which holds my ankle upright and keeps it from giving way again, and I feel much better, except for my right leg and hip which have been taking the brunt of my not inconsiderable weight......Tonight the stupid ankle is itching like a son of a gun, so I hope that means it is healing.....back to doc on Tuesday for followup.......

P. S.---did anyone really expect Marshall to win against Wisconsin today? I didn't even know who they were playing, and happened to mention to Ron while we were in WM this evening that I only got to hear a brief blip of the game on the way home from work, and an employee told me that we lost 51-14 and who to.......he acted real surprised that we had lost.......

Now on to politics-----watched most of McCain's speech the other night, and while not greatly impressed with his oratory capabilities, he seems to have a grasp of reality that Obama does not....I am more impressed with his VP choice, but I feel more comfortable with this campaign than the other...........I still wish that there was a viable third party alternative, but as there is not, and probably will not be in the foreseeable future, then we must make do with what we have.....I'm sure there will be more on this later, but my darling husband just bitched b/c he has dinner on the table and I am sitting here clickety clacking away......
