Uncool. (N) Hope you can get that cleared up sooner rather than later.

yeah it's all good now. still, there were some shady people working in the postal service though. somehow my check got redirected and wound up at my roommate's dad's old house (my roommate's dad owns the place i live at). and it got forwarded to him so he got the check and cashed it. lucky for me, i'm not out $700 but i have decided to bank elsewhere.

No doubt. That's pretty underhanded of him, too.

My doctor told me yesterday that i have a "diabetic ulcer" on the bottom of my big right toe.I had to get x-rays done to see if it has affected the bone.If it has,then that toe could possibly be cut off.Let's hope it does not come down to that.I wont know until three weeks.So right now i have a small chunk of my skin cut off from the bottom of that toe and i have to wear this annoying ass stiff boot.And this new insulin they gave me is not working worth shit.

There is one good thing.My doctor is pretty fucking hot.

Cut the toe. It's no biggie. Just ask NLSC member Oznogrd.

Fuck that.If it comes down to that,well then i have no choice.But as of right now,i want them all.
I just hope this shit starts to heal pretty good in about three weeks.But having diabetes does not help the situation.

Thanks and yeah,it is a silver lining.It is a bit nerve racking though when you have a hot doctor that is staring at something that you do not want her to see.

Plain and simple, I am considering giving up sports. I am the most injury prone human being on Earth. 2 weeks ago playing basketball I sprained my right ankle, mild sprain but kept me from moving my foot much. Today I totally fucked up my left ankle. It is all kinds of swollen all over the place, and purple. I never rolled my ankle that bad in my life. I can't put any pressure on it without feeling the most intense pain ever. This hurts more then any bone I've ever broken. I'm worried about it honestly, I am afraid to put my foot on the ground, and on top of that when I rolled my ankle I heard a very very loud pop/crack noise. Does anyone have any idea what that pop might have been? I am afraid I tore a ligament or broke a bone, I can move my foot but only with excrutiating pain.

I'd say there's at least been some soft tissue damage, either a tendon or ligament. I'd definitely get that checked out if I were you.

Doobie you fool. Did you play while you're still fat? Of course you're going to get injuries. You don't do a sport to get fit, you get fit to do a sport.

Go to the doctor. Get an x-ray. All that pain accompanied with a swollen sprained ankle could be a fracture.

You could always yell at it and just go play basketball despite it.

Wait it out. That doesn't look so bad.

You couldn't move shit if it was a broken ankle. Friend of mine broke his ankle while playing soccer and it took about six month and two or three surgeries to recover. Still looking pretty swollen, but as long as you can put some pressure on it without dying from pain, it may only be a ligament.

first time i ever sprained my ankle, it looked like that and i couldn't cut off of it for 3 weeks. after that, it all gradually started coming back. the next time i sprained it, recovery time was less than a week.

Just had a flat out frustrating game. The refs called some things in order, but mainly, were terrible. I mean I got a layup and was shoved off the ball, no foul. But when I barely touch some guys elbow and he screams like he's being raped, it's a foul.

The end was the worst part. One of my teammates went to foul a guy, and the guy flopped to make it look like a flagrant 2. My mate got T'd. Then, to rub it in our faces, some guy jacked a three and one of my other teammates shoved him into the bench. With 4 seconds to go.

Frustrating.

Still looks kind of nasty, I'd get it checked out to be on the safe side.

I'm getting ticked off at Angry Birds. Level 3-5 is ridiculous.

Man, Angry Birds is sure addicting, though. Got the Chrome version yesterday and passed all three levels and the chrome stages this morning.
