  If your ankle's hurt and bloated, clap your hands! If your back is sore and broken, clap your hands!! Sure makes cleaning the house a chore. Managing this much space with the cleanliness specifications I require is a part time job at least. Cat messes, vacuuming, laundry, and dishes. My heart goes out to the single mother who has all this plus the kid(s) and a job. No wonder they plant their little ones in front of the tube while they clean up. I'd lock em in the room with me while I took a nap.
Good news, ya'll. After much polite yet pointed urging by me, I finagled a quick-ass solution to my ankle woes. They were going to give me a Wednesday night MRI followed by a review of the results with my MD the following Wednesday. Not good. Then I'd have another week to 10 days to wait on the insurance company's approval. But I didnt give up V come home in a funk of acquiescing to the expected fate of being low on everyone's list of priorities in the medical community. I begged. Nicely, not pushy, but I begged with that cheerfully optimistic I-know-you-can-help-me kind of presentation of myself. and viola! I got PPO care for (grossly inflated) HMO prices! Projected schedule  approval by the 21st. Surgery the week of the 26th. Woo-hoo! I'll be on crutches for graduation. But I keep envisioning a heroic moment when I go up there to grab my diploma (they mail it to you, so it's all a bit of a joke), I see myself grabbing the microphone to boldly announce... Little sisters out there!!
Be wary of sports! Tape your ankles BEFORE you ruin them!! Get in the weight room by 13 and do weight strengthening for your lower quads to support your knees! You're predisposed to ruin them!! (as I'm being dragged off kicking and spitting by the university bouncers) J o i n T h e S w i m T e a m!!! .... (this, of course, is followed by loud cheering among the knowing crowd. A collective indictment of the cut-throat competitive world of organized sports for young women.
btw, I disconnected my other site. Part of a need that no longer is necessary to maintain. My attention to this one over the past weeks has encouraged me to focus. Why have two? Time to play with it summore before I go back to my homework.
