r a n d o m o c i t y just a place for my random thoughts

ow?

life goes on.

the older i get, the faster it goes. evenings vanish, weeks fly by, months are here and then not.. crazy.

so during the “good” weather months (read: not freezing cold) a few friends and i have an outdoor basketball group that gets together about once or twice a week in the evenings to play ball. there’s only about 4-6 regulars that show up, but we usually grab a few random pickups and run 3s or 4s. last wednesday, i jammed my ring finger pretty good. on friday, i rejammed it along with my middle finger, and thought it was going to be a “bad” night for injuries based on that along, until i landed on a friend’s foot and twisted my ankle all to pieces.

i snapped a pic on my phone that night:

..and another one today at work (notice the sweet cankle action):

my foot really hurts
would someone get me a drink?
fear my man cankle.

good stuff, eh?

it hurt really bad that night, a little less the next day, then sunday it basically stopped hurting but was “tingly” all day (although i mostly stayed off of it). i fought a fever all weekend that i would guess was just part of my body’s reaction to the injury. today at work i did a substantial amount of “hobbling” and it actually started to ache as the day wore on – but i think it’s getting better. time heals all wounds, or at least i keep telling myself that. some of the wounds i’ve gotten in the last month will take a lot longer than a weekend to heal, but i have faith that with time the pain will fade. thanks to all my friends who have offered their support.
