So march was a pretty basd month for me health wise..(as in expensive) Somach flu early month, chipped tooth late month, and now last night on my way home from work- I side step on the side walk to let a ridiculously LARGE double stroller (that could have doubled as a small compact car in size) past me on the sidewalk, and I hit uneven ground and do this to my ancle. Oh yeah- then I have to hobble home (one block to the L- 45min L ride-one block from L to house-up three flights of stairs) I walk into my apt in so much pain I am laughing uncontrolably. (those of you who know me really well know that when I am in SUPER pain suddenly- I laugh instead of cry- I have no idea why that happens) Chris was like "Oh God you are laughing, what did you do?" I took off my shoe and showed him this...he gets up puts on his shoes and says "get your insurance card-you need to go to the hospital. " Fortuneately I live 1 block from Weiss Memorial and we go there to find an empty ER. Total ER time including Xrays and treatment, 1 hr and 10 min. In Wilmington that would have been a 4 hour ordeal. No broken bones- (thank goodness) Ice, rest, elivation and crutches for three days and I am right a rain...well almost. The ace bandage needs to be kept on for support for like two weeks, but then right as rain. Today I get a day off, and tomorrow it is desk work. Next time I just run into the SUV stroller and let them pay for my hospital bills.
