It's been a bad weekend around my home. We've had rain since Friday. Yesterday my next door neighbor suddenly died in his home. This morning I woke up with some sort of ankle injury. How that happen is a mystery. Was fine when I went to bed but I woke up in a lot of pain.
Now I am on crutches and got to go to a funeral. Like I said, a bad weekend around here.
unexplained "injury"? make sure it isn't a staph infection. Bummer about your neighbor.
Man, that was a bad weekend. My best wishes to you for a better week ahead.
Sorry to hear about your weekend.
I had an unexplained knee injury when I woke up a month or so ago that turned out to be a torn ligament.
Bummer about your weekend. Especially the neighbor dying. That always sucks.
I had a long weekend here, but nothing bad happened. Well, depening on your definition of 'bad.'
I did find out what is going on with my ankle. Apparently I have a case of tendinitis. That's always fun to deal with. Guess it means a lot of sitting around watching bad movies and messing with stuff on the net.

Now there's an opitmist for you!
wow... and I thought MY weekend was bad!
Sorry to have caught this late, and hopefully things are looking up by now. As for the tendinitis, it seems like anyone who engages in physical activity like exercise or just lots of whatever (walking, typing, etc.) deals with it sooner or later. Welcome to the wonderful world of Motrin!
BTW: The Navy prescribes Motrin for pretty much anything wrong with a Marine or Sailor. You could be standing there, with an arm completely severed, and they'd tell you take take Motrin to keep the swelling down.
Sorry to hear about it being a bummer for you meQal, hope you ankle is better now. :bluesad:
If we're sharing, then my weekend was pretty crappy. Another uncle has died, found out one of my cousins is a drug addict and I recieved some emails from my ex girlfriend, which made me go all weird. I didn't have the guts to read them. Oh, an I have a really bad ingrowing toenail that I performed a 'lil surgery on....lots of blood and pain. So, that led to a 4 day bender. :teddyr:

The Army does the same thing. It became such a joke that when we would have first aid/cpr training, it would be the answer to the first question. "You see a person floating face-down in a pool of water, you get them to shore and find they are not breathing and have no pulse, what is the first thing you do?" Some smart-ass would always reply with "Give them Motrin"
