I agree with Kathy.  Get the ankle inspected and if the doctor agrees it's a good idea, get the x-ray.  You'll thank yourself in the long run when you're fine and on the road to health than when you're set back six months for correctional surgery and physical therapy, along with all of the bills that come with it.

It was an absolute joy and delight seeing some familiar screen names and reading from new ones.  I'm very glad the sense of community hasn't changed much at all around here.  Alas, I am done pounding through these three chapters in psychology and am migrating to the kitchen to eat, clean, and start dinner preparations.

Until next time, CC-ers!

Shower and clean clothes are all I need.

Psht.  I do better naked.

Must be nice.  It takes a lot of effort to get me presentable enough to leave the house.

That does suck hard.  And the cost of health care makes it suck even harder.  What about making an appointment with a primary care physician and asking for an opinion?  If there's a strong suspect of a break, they'll recommend the x-ray.  If a sprain is a strong possibility, a bubble cast and crutches until inflammation goes down further can both hold a minor break steady to prevent mal-regrowth and prevent additional injury that may lead to a break.

Then you're just out your co-pay.

Anti-condom, yes.  They scare me to tears.  I'm still in therapy for that.

Everything worked out well in the end.  The third baby lead to Husband getting his first ever grown-up job (he graduated with his computer programming degree in December), I've stopped working full time at the hospital and can have an actual relationship with the two babies I already have.  And my daughter asked for a little sister for her birthday.  I found out I was pregnant five days later.

And yes, she's getting her little sister.

I have a house hippo.  Her name is Vodka and at one point she was a very lovable cat.

And yes, a third and final addition to our family.  I still remember the day Husband and I were doing the horizontal shuffle and he looked at me, almost horrified, and said, "Was I supposed to pull out or is that next week?"

No, no.. It was this week.  And I still believe the OB/GYN who refused to switch my birth control until I had three negative pregnancy tests set me up for that one.

Whoops.  Don't tell her I called her a fat hippo.

Let's hold a seance and see who else we can communicate with.  Maybe PG will pop up.

I drink oil to increase my calorie intake when I'm hungry in addition to eating food.
