As some of you may know, our beloved Firewoman has been complaining about an injured ankle the last few days.

She just texted me to inform me she finally went to the doctor to get it checked and it is indeed broken.

Been there, it sucks, so I sympathize. Good luck and take it easy to let it heal properly. I can tell you what happens when you don't.

Get well soon.

Damn Fire, walking around for almost a week on a broken ankle?

SHE'S HARDCORE! SHE'S HARDCORE!

[Chris Eco]

Get the appropriate amount of rest and don't be afraid to give it too much time.

Also, you should have pulled a Kennedy and injured someone else in the process.

[Fire-Babe]

Wow, good news travels fast.

The initial 'urgent care' diagnosis is a cracked fibula. I need to make an appointment with an orthopedist to be sure.

two things that suck:

1. I didn't win the game I was playing when I broke it.
2. It totally fucked up my board breaking today.

[Fire-Babe]

Also, Seamus and I had the same thought at the same time...

CRUTCHES MATCH!

You suck. Do better.

[Fire-Babe]

No kidding. Person that beat me is going to regret it next year

Fibula? Pfft, you don't need no stinking fibula.

I believe you're thinking of badges.

I would like to point out that I am the ONLY person in OOWF to have been injured in an actual match

Depending what you mean, this could be false.

[Byrntrigan]

So are you gonna be healed by June for the test?

If you constitute a "match" as bicycle vs. concrete road hazard, I've been injured in a match.

Awesome.

Get better Fire.

It would appear that rumors of my fractured fibula have been greatly exaggerated, and that once a doctor that knew how to read an x-ray looked at mine, I have been 'down graded' to a Grade 1 Ankle sprain.

(I should note that I said in chat that I didn't see anything on the x-ray that looked like a fracture, either.)

Don't know what this means for the black belt tests. Sometimes sprains can take longer than breaks to heal. But at least I know that I don't have to worry about surgery to repair a 1.5 week old break

[Angle]

Great to hear its not a serious injury. Good luck.

HA! My Mom is better than you.

Just wanted to pop in and say that I'm glad it's not as serious as a break, and two, that I was the first punster to get injured in an actual match. I think I sprained my wrist, but I'm too lazy and macho to go get it checked out. It only hurts when I do push ups or lift more than say, fifty pounds with that hand. I will get it looked at in a couple of weeks because I'd like to be ready if they call me up for the July 18 card in Nags Head. Pun, Eric, either of you guys know where that even is?

[Fire-Babe]

thanks again for the well wishes and smart ass remarks. BD, I bow to your title.

as an update, I was off the crutches last week, with just a soft brace, and now i'm out of that except for the gym/karate. my blackbelt test should go off as scheduled.

[Tommy]

And Sop will be there cheering you on.

[Fire-Babe]

no he will not. maybe...
