By the time my wife took the picture of my ankle, I was so loopy on morphine it wasn't hurting too much.

I'm in a boot.  Still no weight on it for at least five weeks.  The thing that really sucks is we are on vacation to go to Pennsylvania at the end of May.  I kinda have to go because it's my wife's birthday and her daughter and I have a huge shindig planned...not to mention the fact that I had it catered (and pain for it).  We were going to drive up and take our time and do some sightseeing.  There's no way I can tolerate the sightseeing...let alone the 14.5 hours in the car.  I can only keep my foot 'non-elevated' for about 20 minutes before it starts to throb.  It ain't very fun.  

So I just made flight reservations and we'll fly up five days later.  That's going  to be a 'test' in itself.  At least I'll get boarding priority.      

The timing of this whole thing just sucks.  I'm going to miss so much stuff that I had already planned and some I had already paid for.  Hell, I'm hoping it'll be good enough to get into the games by the time the season rolls around.  I was pissed at at the world for four or five days.  I guess I've gotten over that for the most part.  I know there are people that have it worse than me...doesn't make it suck any less.
