I Am The Gimp -- Injury Report, and Life on the DL

Naw, not the Down Low. The Disabled List. I done went and fucked up my ankle** this afternoon, and now I can't even hobble around the house without Doug's help. I'm trying to remain upbeat -- hey! I can now demand to watch Pride and Prejudice in its various forms because, dammit, I need the psychic comfort. But in reality I am super-fucking bummed out. What a fucking mess. I hate being a cripple.

At least Doug has been ultra awesome about things -- hauling my ass around the house, fixing dinner, wrapping my foot, bringing me water and ice packs. Thanks, hon. :)

**I am mostly sure it isn't broken, but it's a really severe sprain, and is swollen like the Sta-Puft marshmallow man. I predict that by tomorrow it will be 60 glorious shades of crimson, purple and blue,

Listen to Eefa, she is wise. You'd make an awesome Diana Trent. And your editors could use a good swift smack with a cane! In fact, even once you've healed, you shouldn't let on, just continue using it for effect.

Now that I think about it, my dad used to have a cane with a rapier hidden in the handle. I could loan it to you, if I could find the thing.* Two weapons in one! Stick 'em with the pointy end!

*pauses to wonder if one is actually allowed to mail swords, or if the postal service would, well, go postal about it ;-P

hahaha nice one on the Diana Trent, Eef. And the Ghostbusters quote. hahahaha.

a cane with a rapier? that is probably not wise, as I would be tempted to run my enemies through, and a sprain in jail ain't such a good idea.
