let me tell you, livejournal.

It has so not been my week.

Monday? Migraine. Drove home half-blind, spent the rest of the night in pain and nauseas. Still had to pick roommate up from work (oh, that was totally awesome fun, I tell you), and feed her.

Tuesday? Dizzy, leftover migraine annoyances, for about three hours. Miraculously went away when I left work, however the intense heat nearly made me sick as I drove home. Went to view apartment, it was dinky and not all that great. Ended up in bed late.

Wednesday? Slept through my alarm. Going off. For an HOUR. Yes. The beepbeeepbeeeeeeeeeeeep didn't wake me. Then, THEN, walking back from the ice cream social at a different building, I stepped off the path and folded my right ankle in half. Sideways. I also nailed my left knee. I now limp when I walk. (It's not broken, because I can walk on it. It's possibly sprained, but I know what they'll say: "Stay off of it, put it up, ice it, take anti-inflammatories, etc" I have no time or money to go get told that)

I am really motherfucking lucky I wore my combat boots today. There is no way I could have kept the swelling down, otherwise. (nor could I have a) walked, b) driven)

So, what's up next, Thursday? You gonna give me a concussion? Get me fired? What? Bring it on, motherfucker.

eta: also, I left an entire scene for my Eurekathon fic at work. How's that for brilliant? Luckily, I know most of what it was.

You should get your ankle looked at. You can walk on a stress fracture. I've done it before.

Will a Cylon Toaster (http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/16/battlestar-galactica-cylon-toaster-produces-fanboy-approved-brea/) make you feel better? At least for the shear "wtf?" factor?

Oh, honey!

You're a nice roommate. But you shouldn't drive with a blinding migraine. They have cabs, if no one you work with could be asked to give you a lift!

It's possibly sprained, but I know what they'll say: "Stay off of it, put it up, ice it, take anti-inflammatories, etc" I have no time or money to go get told that)

As long as you do all that stuff!

Lyssie, you should get your ankle looked at just to be sure. You can have a fracture or break there and still be able to walk on it. My mom used to talk to someone who broke or fractured (can't remember which) her ankle, and she didn't know for a few weeks to a few months later (again I can't remember which, this was like 10 years ago).
