^ That's a great story, minus the injury part.

Well, this is now all going through workman's comp., so they actually sent me to an urgent care place today, even though I'd been to the ER five days ago, and was basically given a referral to an orthopedic doc (no, I can't use my regular and already very familiar with my bad ankle doc). The process continues, though this doc did confirm it's likely I'll be off my bike, or anything for that matter, for at least a month. On the good front, she did give me an RX for a knee walker, so once the workman's comp person okays that, I can get off these torture devices (crutches) and at least start moving around better.
