When your leg falls asleep what do you do?
I normally stand and shake it and feel the rootbeer bubbly fizzes as it comes back to life. Why rootbeer bubbly fizzes...I don't know...it's been that way since I was little. Pins n' needles I think it's called.
Anyways...Friday night, 9:30...MyLuc and I have had 3 drinks and he's already zonkered. Although if you'd had one of MyLuc's drinks you'd be on your way as well. We were watching some movie and I had to go to the bathroom. Got up and fell down. Yep, my right leg went to sleep, I rolled over on my ankle and all 239lbs landed on the bone. I o'course yelled for MyLuc but he was already sleeping. Sooo....hobbled to the fridge for some frozen veggies...went to bed and put them on my ankle...and to sleep I went.
The next morning my ankle was huge and MyLuc and I headed for the walkin clinic. Now we know there is going to be a wait...there always is. I was there for 45 minutes, the doc tensored my ankle and suggested I go for xrays although we'd have to drive to Coquitlam and there was no guarantee that it'd still be open as it was 1030 and it closed at 1230 and traffic and all....sooo..we went home. Before that tho' we went into London Drugs so I could rent some crutches...$35 deposit later I was hobbling my way outta the store. Let me tell you...crutches suck!
All day Saturday and all day Sunday I could do nothing. MyLuc said that if I got up without a reason he'd kick my ass. So every time I had to get up to go to the bathroom he'd ask...what're you doing. Now that's awesome and all but every freakin' time? I called my HR and told her what's going on....I wouldn't be in on Monday because I had to go for xrays.
Monday I hobbled my way to the taxi, $10 ride later, hobbled into xrays, 10 min or less I hobbled back to the taxi $10 ride later I was home. I finished Season 3 of Buffy and had a nap. It was horrible...well not horrible but lonely after spending so much time with MyLuc.
Tuesday MyLuc drove me to the skytrain at 6 in the morning. I hobbled my way to the two escalators to get to the platform and luckily gotta seat. Although there wasn't too many of us. Off the train to the very slow elevator. Crossed the street without too many people honking at me cuz I was slow.
Got to my building and wouldn't you know it...you push the button so the doors open and it swings outward. Now I'm not that steady as it is on my crutches so that was horrible. Not to mention the guy sitting on the table at the front door watching. Made it to the elevator and then had to fumble for my keycard as the elevator doesn't go past the first floor at that time in the morning.
Made it to the front door, whacked all the newspapers together and then had to get down to open the door...the lock is near the floor. Struggled to open the door, stay on my crutches but I did it. Made it to my desk and that is where I stayed. From 630 to 1 (lunch) and then from 2 to 4. Everyone was awesome helping with faxing and scanning n'all.
My boss walked me to the skytrain and then to the elevator, got my ticket punched for me (I don't have a pass this month) and waited until I was okay. By 4 my ankle was totally throbbing and I was in total agony. Skytrain was busy but being "disabled" I got a seat.
Caught a cab up the hill. MyLuc met me at the door as I wasn't sure I could open the doors as my shoulders were killing. I made it into the apartment and to a chair and there I sat. I didn't even change outta my work clothes. My shoulders hurt, my ankle hurt, my left knee hurt from trying to do the support for my right leg. *sigh* Called After Eight and have hired her to do my xmas shopping...cuz there is no way I can get everything done by this weekend. MyLuc made dinner, took off my bandage and was awesome. I made it to the bathroom to brush my teeth and to bed I went.
Wednesday made it to work at 630. To my desk and here I am still. Typing away. Looking busy and trying to do everything within reach. *sigh* It's gonna be a long day.
*HUGE HUGS*
My advice - Be careful getting up when your leg is asleep.

Neopets...
I found this article on FARK.
http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.12/neopets.html
I know that this is true because I am the proud owner of two Neopets. I'm still fairly new at all the exporing and gaming but what little I have done is very fun. *grin* I rhymed.
My favourite part of neopets is the great free stuff you can get if you explore around and perform quests for the faeries.
Do you have a neopet?

Borrowed from White Trash Mom:
Take the following quiz, and tally your results below.
1. Does someone in your household regularly emit an audible sigh when you answer the age-old question, "What's for dinner?"
2. Does the ketchup bottle spend more time on your kitchen table than in the refrigerator?
3. Do you feel compelled to own stock in Hidden Valley Ranch?
4. Does the Tyson family send you a Christmas card each and every year?
5. Do you regularly find yourself saying, "I am not a restaurant. I am a mother. Deal with it."
6. Do the folks at the McDonald's drive-thru lane greet you by name and ask if you'd like the usual?
7. When your family is dining out at a restaurant where the kids' menu is more than $3.99 per child, do you still have a kid who insists on ordering chicken nuggets EVERY SINGLE TIME?
If you answered yes to question #7, is it cause for a major meltdown if "said restaurant" doesn't serve "said nuggets"?
8. Have you been known to disguise various ingredients within a recipe just to trick a family member into eating what you are serving?
9. Is it a cardinal sin for pasta to have any type of sauce on it - EVER? Only butter and, if you're lucky, Parmesan?
Scoring:
All No's - Go back to Wonderland, Alice. Your life is too perfect. I hate you, and I can't deal with you.
One or Two Yes's - You are only minimally challenged by a picky eater, but it's not interfering with your day-to-day eating habits. Consider yourself lucky, and order in some sushi.
Three to Five Yes's - Some problems exist, but there is still hope. Continue to strive for dinnertime diversity, and you may just come out of this.
Six to Eight Yes's - Get help now. You are heading down a dark and dangerous path. Even drinking may not help you now.
Nine or More Yes's - There is no hope for you. You are one of us. Come to the next meeting of PEA. . . Picky Eater's Awareness. You'll never recover, but there is support. Lean on us. We're there for you.
~~~~~
Now, I'm in the three to five category with:
1. Either MyLuc or I ask this question and if we haven't planned on anything you totally *sigh* cuz then you have to rack your brain to figure out what you're going to be making.
2. Ketchup...mmmmm...MyLuc only uses his with fries. Everything else can have some bbq sauce. Now I don't use ketchup as much as I used to but....it did at one time spend more time on the table then the refrigerator.
3. Not exactly Hidden Valley but Ranch nonetheless. That's it...MyLucs favourite. I use Ranch only as a dip for chips n' veggies.
6. The Mickey D's in Trail...they knew my name and what I liked. Could be cuz we went to the same school but who knows.
8. MyLuc keeps telling me he is going to put lamb in something. Ground lamb or lamb pieces. I just don't like the taste of lamb....it hasn't happend yet but it's gonna cause all kinds of trouble.
