things just keep getting better
At the Oktoberfest softball tournament (Sept. 14th), a guy slid into my right lower leg/ankle as I was tagging him at second base (he was called safe but was so out). It did the whole swollen and bruised and nasty thing as I expected, but it just hasn’t gotten better and I have a hard lump just above the inside of my ankle. I can’t walk more than 50-60 steps without stabbing, burning pain and the distinct feeling that walking is highly overrated.
By this time we should be seeing some serious improvement, so I got worried enough to go to the doctor. Guess what? I’ve been hobbling around on a fractured leg bone for almost three weeks! No wonder I’m in such pain. My doctor says it’s a very small hairline fracture but put me in a splint and on crutches until I can see an orthopedic doctor (next week). BOOOOOOOO!
2008 has been hell! Let’s recount:
- Two motor vehicle accidents (March and August)
- Strep throat (September)
- Crushed pinky finger (January)
- Broken leg (September)
on the mend
Thank God for penicillin! Feeling much better now!

UPDATE: It’s strep throat. I stayed home from work today to go to the doctor and get a shot of penicillin in my hip. Then I slept most of the day. Like I did yesterday when I got home from work instead of getting really excited that both the Packers and the Broncos won on Monday Night Football. Jen – this may exonerate you…I don’t know that you had strep.
I feel like poo. Hot poo. Yesterday I felt fine until the very end of the night when my throat started to hurt a little bit. Now it is quite painful to swallow. I have a sore throat only on the left side of my throat. My mucus and spit is stringy and thick. My left ear hurts. I have a headache. I feel like I’m sitting outside in the sun sometimes. It is hard for me to concentrate or be comfortable.
Booooooooo
