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

[xraytheenforcer]

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,

Oh no! I'm so sorry, Martha. I second Parris on the cane -- not only will it help you get around on your own again, but I bet you could do a mean Diana Trent impression. Besides, then you can whack the deputy editor around as well! "Oh no, I'm sorry, I'm still getting the hang of this thing, did I put it down on your foot?"

:p

Anyway, lots of love and good wishes and healing vibes being sent your way. And just remember: "This Mr. Stay Puft is okay. He's a sailor, he's in New York. We get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble."

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.
