Ouchy!

I am one of THOSE people..clumsy, accident pron..the one of who Murphy's Law was based one. If it's going to happen to ANYONE - it will happen to Me!!

I have always been that way - sometimes I feel like a wanna-be hypochondriac except this stuff actually does happen. Tripping up the stairs, falling off the sidewalk, paper cut in the weirdest and most painful area, gym injury, stumble over my own feet... you get the idea.

I just spent 2 1/2 months in physical therapy from a knee injury I got at the gym. I was so ready to get back to working out and working off the 8 pounds I gained since March when I stopped going due to the pain. Then that S.O.B. Murphy came around!

So here I was three weeks ago...minding my own business (or someone else's), walking down my neighbor's sidewalk - it was dark, I was talking and walking (a bad combination for me) - the wine had nothing to do with it, I swear - when BAM! I stubbed my pinky toes right into a decorative, yet huge rock. I knew in that painful moment that I had broken that piggy!

For three weeks I have sported flip-flop sandals to work (very attractive in the professional environment) because I can't put my foot into a regular show. A week ago I shoved it in a work boot to help do some landscaping at our rental property (wanna buy a house???), then Murphy shows his sorry butt up AGAIN.

Knee injury A.G.A.I.N. Same knee, different side. I bummed and babied it then hit the gym yesterday (broken toes and all). I was determined to get this weight off come hell or high water. I noticed a tiny bit of swelling at my ankle before I went to bed - woke up with  my leg and foot swollen 1/2 size and I couldn't take a step without unbearable pain.

Here I am on the couch...missing work...ice/heat every 20 minutes and waiting for yet another doctor appointment to have my knee checked out - and my toe.

Ugh!!!

Peace!
