It hurts like a momma. I have to go to an orthopedic doctor tomorrow and have it casted.

I refuse to miss work no matter what anyone says BUT wow ima hurting right now.

I broke my right collarbone when I was in 3rd grade - I don't even remember the accident, because I had blacked out by that point (it was a freak sledding accident in November '93).

I really hope the ankle heals quickly!

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 02-23-2004, 09:56 PM

Aw, I'm sorry.

Hope it gets better soon!

You and Chris should both go to a movie tonight.

Hope you feel better soon.

Nannyfine, I am so sorry! I kind of know how you feel, I broke my wrist last summer. I didn't think the pain would ever stop! Praying for you for a quick recovery.

I'm upset that I won't be able to do my 3 mile walk each morning. I can deal with the pain (thanks Vicadin!

) and it's only a mild inconvenience being in a cast (I'm good as long as it's a walking cast for work, I can do my job sitting if I have to) but it SUCKS that walking in the mornings is a big part of my life, I've done so well with losing weight and now I'm going to be not walking for 6 long weeks

THAT depresses me more than anything.

That sucks. At least you can use your computer!

I broke my wrist when i was 9 years old. I barely remember that, it was a long time ago.

This sucker hurts! My ankle is the size of a fist, I swear. Lemme see if I can take a digital of it

I'm still going to work, it will just be a bit more difficult than normal

I have real bad shoulder pain right now, but I'm doing my best to hide it from my parents- they will force to go to a doctor if they notice, and etc., I don't want to go through all the trouble.

The pain has been on and off since last July when a jet ski (I was riding) flipped and struck me.

I work with athetes and chronic pain like that, especially after an accident, needs to be checked! You will only be worse off in the end if you dont get it looked at. That's the mom in me talking. The "normal" person in me says I hate doctors too

Tuesday Weld · 02-23-2004, 10:43 PM

I can imagine how painful that must be.

I hope it gets better very soon.

It looks bad doesn't it? It's all bruised and black and blue across the bottom of my foot and around the underside of my ankle where the talus bone (which is what is broke) is. That picture doesn't show the half of it.

I was standing on a 4 inch mat at work and someone said something to me, I turned around to her and when I turned around my ankle rolled half way off that mat. I went down fast. I yelled SON OF A........and remembered that there were 40 kids running around and I said "GUN!" My best friend/boss said she was laughing because she knows I swear and she was impressed I didn't say anything worse than that!

It took me 2 hours before I'd go to the ER too. I didnt' want to go.
