I'm A Klutz...
Hurt
A drilling rig. Home of hundreds of dangers, the injuries from which run the gamut between minor lacerations and decapitation. Pretty scary place to work without the necessary training, and even with it accidents still happen.
Ironically, I was nowhere NEAR it. I was merely stepping out of my trailer to nab something out of my Jeep. All I did was take one step, and my right ankle turned under me.
One word: O U C H ! ! !
The pain that shot through my ankle and my foot was absolutely horrible. Horrible...and painfully familiar. I had a similar incident back in '98 when I sprained my ankle walking off a curb at my college campus....and there is no doubt in my mind that history has indeed repeated itself. The thing is swollen quite badly, and every step I take is extremely painful. I don't have ice, but I've been alternating between a package of frozen onions and a package of frozen chopped peppers to ice my ankle.
Fortunately, my well will be finished early tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, I have to drive home...and that's my driving foot!
And of course, since the incident happened at WORK, I have to fill out paperwork. I spoke to my supervisor, and he noted that since my injury had nothing to do with job duties and nothing to do with the rig, it's likely to be very simple. At least that won't be so bad...though I'll probably still have to go to a company physician instead of my own doctor.
Sigh....it's been a long time since my clumsy side last reared its ugly head.
Why in the HECK did it have to resurface at WORK, of all places??
Yeesh. >_<
On the upside...at least it'll force me to sit down and finish my necklace project.

Prayer Requests:
My friend Jennifer started chemotherapy five months ago. The medication is starting to really take its toll on her body, though it has been quite successful so far. Her oncologist was rather surprised at how much her liver tumors have shrunk so far, and is optimistic about it going into remission! Please continue to keep her and her family in your prayers.
The pastor of my church in Colorado Springs is undergoing intensive therapy for neuromuscular disease. Where early tests indicated that it may instead be Lyme disease, that has now been ruled out. He does indeed have ALS...and it's starting to affect him much more quickly now. Please continue to keep him and his family in your prayers.
is dealing with some rough stuff right now. Please keep him in your prayers too. ^_^For more prayer requests, check out *dragonsthatservegod's journal. Thanks.

Open your eyes and look above! I am not a bird, or a plane. I'm am not superman, though i have come to save your life. I'm not what you think i am, i'm not who you were told. I'm not a hero, i'm not your savior, i'm just a man sent by fate, nothing more..
Hope it feels better soon. *hugs*

Though I think I'd rather have the gashed knee. At least you can walk. I am having serious difficulty with that...I'm going to be on crutches for sure...
