When your heart swells with pride

by

I’ve written quite extensively about my foot, my disgust with the fact that it has taken 3 plus months for it to get well and I’ve been in a cast for about as long as I can tolerate it now.  And, I’ve written plenty of whining posts here too.  But now, I have one more week til my next doctor appointment and I think it’s time to have some fun.

Person 1:  How did you hurt your ankle?

ME:  I was snow skiing.

Person 1:  Looks at me, analyzes what 220 pounds would look like on ski’s and decided he’ll shut up.

Person 2:  How did you hurt your….what exactly is hurt?

Me:  My ankle, I broke it, I was skateboarding, those guys get tough on those metal bars outside the library

Person 2:  Looks at me as if…..he is too embarrassed to even say as if what…..

Person 3:  How did you hurt your ankle?  Or foot? Or what did you do?

Me:  I was hiking through Africa, we had been away for 4 days we were running out of water and we were all getting really tired.  I think they had sent search crews after us because shortly after I felt down a this embankment the rescue squad showed up.

Person 3:  Wow, you did that?

Me:  You in my head.
