Dignity. Always dignity.

I just want to point out that I've been falling down and injuring myself while sober for almost 30 years. Just ONCE I have too much wine, slip on an uneven surface and sprain my ankle on my way home from a work dinner, and my family is ringing up to tease me about being a drunk.

Meanwhile: ow. TO THE DOCTOR! I might also get him to have a look at my knee, since I landed so heavily on that that I didn't notice the pain in my ankle right away. I had almost forgotten about it until just now, when I bumped it lightly and spent five minutes with REALLY QUITE A LOT OF PAIN.

In conclusion, tiny yum cha dishes, however delicious, are inadequate sustenance when the waiters keep refilling your wineglass.

oh, no! ouch. :(

The doctor said it was a bad sprain, go get an X-ray if it's not improved by Monday etc.

I do have the rest of the week off work, but ... well, that sort of thing is more fun when I'm in a position to crank up bad pop music and dance.

That is, unfortunately, what families are for. Hence how an Aged Aunt will never hear the end of the time she fell and broke her wrist at a wedding and did not notice for three days.

Did you perchance land on your kneecap? That bruises like nothing else on earth, even if you don't break it.

I did land on my kneecap! The doctor said it was just badly bruised, but not otherwise injured.

And now you get to discover just how many things you hit your knee off in the course of an average day!

OW. Hope you're feeling better soon.

And it's a shame people know how you sprained your ankle, because otherwise you could use your time off this week making up creative stories about how it happened, like that you and Harvey were fighting off ninjas together.

Ow jeez ow.

(I hope the wine was good?)
