I Love My Dog



Please don't judge me for the 80's mirrored/gold decorating statement above my pup's head... it came with the temporary apartment. Leia is sitting on my lap, shown at HIGH ALERT because it's storming, which sounds suspiciously like fireworks... and let me tell you, my friends, fireworks are no friend to this pooch!

If you read my Monday post, I mentioned the gay hilarity of slipping in the tub/shower and crashing out onto the floor. I am not still laughing. Yesterday was terrible. I hurt in places that I didn't even learn about in my Anatomy classes. A lot of that is gone today, but the spot on my back that I landed on continues to pain me in a major way. Going to the doctor in the morning, insured or not.

My loving little dog Leia hasn't left my lap this evening. It's kind of nice, considering the feeling of being oh... I don't know, chopped liver? I was looking forward to an unusual for us, an evening alone with my daughter (what was I thinking?), when her boyfriend called... oh, to be 17 again! I would have left too!!! But at least I have the little pupster here. And there is a curfew.

Change My Subject Matter?

I'm starting to feel like all I ever share with you is health issues. So, I will give you the latest anyway! lol I've had ankle pain and swelling for a couple of years. I just figured it was arthritis and my weight probably wasn't helping it. I sit all day at my job, so I was surprised by the way it was swelling and it hurt even more than usual.





I normally have slender ankles. (The only thin part of me!) ;)

I spoke with the doctor I work for and he referred me to our in-house podiatrist. I had x-rays two days ago and found out today that I have a quarter sized bone chip on my ankle from an old injury that healed. So now I get to have a fun cortisone shot, and if that doesn't work, then it's surgery. Yippee...


I posted on facebook that I AM IRON WOMAN... chip a bone and just keep going... Hey! It made ME laugh!!!
