BreakALeg

You've heard that old saying. Generally used as an encouragement. Well, I'm here to tell ya it's anything but. My leg's not broken per se, but my knee is for sure wrenched. At ye olde emergency room on 1/1/07, the nice lady said she thought she may see a small linear fracture of my patella, but alas there are no MRI's in the Daviess Co. Hospital emergency room and since this is a worker's comp ordeal I'm still waiting to find out what is wrong with my knee and the connective tissues therein. I did have and MRI at another hospital this last Tuesday. But yon insurance adjuster contact dude doesn't seem to be in much of a hurry, so here i lay, with my leg all braced up, MRI films sitting on my counter since Tuesday and no othorpedist appointment til this coming Monday. All that is known for sure is that my knee is sore and swollen and is to be kept leg brace straight until they figure out what is indeed wrong inside the aforementioned knee.

Now even if you take away the pain(which the pharmacist has done nicely for the most part)one must still try to manuever through life with a straight leg all the time. This may not sound like a big deal to those of y'all who don't know what that's like, but I'm here for ya. Here's some things that are a little harder for those who are leg bending challenged.........
Can't drive a car...can't hardly even get in the passenger side of a car.
Can't put on your sock....or shoe....or wash your toes....etc.
Ever tried to poop with your leg stuck out straight and propped on a tub? Not impossible but hardly enjoyable. Greatly reducing the enjoyment one gets from about the only quality alone time a man with a woman and kids can have....Tragedy!
Speaking of the woman, not only is sexin her much more problematic, but one must rely on her to do the aforementioned shoe tying, toenail clipping, etc. Not terrible....unless you're the one clipping and unless when this is all over you're the one that has to be ever so thankful and xtry nice since she did so much for you whilst you were laid up. And now she's worried that the sexin will somehow tear apart the remaining connective tissue in yon leg. A reasonable concern, but trust me.......I'm ok just layin there and making sure my leg stays still.....for a coupla weeks anyway.


Break a leg indeed.....
