    Unhappy Stupid me

    Okay, so I was feeling a bit energetic tonight. I figured, I'll go for a little run. I didn't even get to the end of the block, when I slipped hopping up onto the sidewalk, and fell flat on my ass. Not only that, I think I really hurt my ankle. Its all swelled up and its uncomfortable to walk on. Oh boy, I'm gonna feel this tomorrow!

    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.

    I suppose not. If I broke it, I shouldn't be able to walk on it. That's what they say, right? It hurts when I walk on it, but not too much.

    Well, that's good. Yeah, they tell me if you break it you can't move it.

    that does suck

    exactly that happend to me a few years back.. i thought i would go out for a jog... then as i was running.. i slipped on some mud and twisted my ankle.. it swelled up really bad and i was off of my feet for a week!!!

    i missed a slayer concert because of it.. i think the fact that i didnt get to go to the slayer concert is what hurt more than my twisted ankle

    running is apparently the worst form of exercise in terms of the pressure you exert on your legs/spine. Every stride they have to withstand a shock 8 times your body weight....interesting fact for you!

    Yeah. Serves you right for excercising and not programming!

    Go on - post the explanation. I'm puzzled, too...

    When I broke my arm (clean break...not a fracture) I could still move my wrist (not far without huting like a ***** ) and my fingers (couldn't make a fist though, just couldn't).....

    I broke my little toe once when a brick fell on it.

    Couldn't even stand on it.

    Spent three hours in casualty for them to put little lollipop stckks either side and a plaster over the top.

    I had to hobble out of casualty on crutches with a plaster on my little toe. How stupid did I feel?
