Prayer Request

[meisperplexed]

Hi all.

I primarily lurk around here, but I could use some good thoughts and prayers. I broke both my ankles Sunday and am having surgery tomorrow. I'm feeling really positive about it, but I'm still a bit nervous.

On a lighter note, here is a Public Courtesy Warning: Beware the curbs at Waffle House #666, for danger lurks for the clumsy.

Thanks sky. My left foot slipped off the curb at Waffle House right next to a drainage structure. I tried to catch myself with the right, but because of the odd slope into the drainage structure, I rolled it too and it broke it. Just a freak accident.

Lol. The wife is thinking about getting another house without steps for when we get older. I told her she better start working on her tri-cep muscles to get up the steps on her butt lol.

Thank you all for your prayers. The surgery was a complete success for this initial stage. I basically have be very careful to keep weight off them except to move from bed to wheelchair. I tried, but failed earlier to make the move because they have a nerve block on both feet. My feet were disobedient and simply wouldn't move, which I'm assured is not unusual for nerve blocks. I told my feet they were b-holes and that their behaviour was not finny.

So, I "borrowed" that joke, but I feel it's appropriate.

Thanks again. My alma mater (FSU) managed to pull out a squeaker, so I'm feeling good about tonight. Go Duke and I'll probably chat with some of you in game thread later.

On further reflection, maybe I can extract dbav's exuberabtly positive posts from the game thread and have them read to me tomorrow while I practice the transfers. I can picture it. Keep fighting fellas. Zion! Jack! R.J.! Joey! Ques, we found some non-sprained knees for you! etc.
