Broke my ankle today
To disable ads, please log-in.
Bad day, got up for work, slipped on the stairs(one of the dogs left a ball on the stairs). Broke my ankle, having surgery tomorrow. Off work for 8-12 weeks. Already bored. Admitted to the hospital, here till Saturday. I work here at the hospital, so all my work buddies have been coming to visit - made the day go by.

Oh no! Fingers crossed for an uneventful surgery and good recovery!
When I broke mine, I spent a week on the couch. Bored out of my mind. Hopefully you can find something to alleviate that too. (TV? Books? Youtube videos that are good for a laugh?)At least I don't leave slime trails.

Oh bummer! So sorry to hear it. Hopefully you like reading! That's about the only good thing about being laid up with an injury, catching up on reading.
Heal quickly!Emily

Ouch. I think the dog who left the ball on the steps is now assigned to be your official fetcher.
When I had shoulder surgery, I upped my netflix subscription to 5 at a time for one month. Well worth it!

Thanks for the warm wishes everyone. I'm not good(and used) to not doing anything. I do have a Netflix subscription, but a WII to stream Netflix on, bought a bunch of DVDs on Black Friday. I'm sure I'll be spending many hours on the internet aka TE.

My foot is twinging in sympathy for you, haven't ever had a broken ankle but did have reconstructive foot surgery - take care of yourself! I read a great deal, watched movies and did needlework. Keep us posted on how you are doing.
