Well, Here I sit this morning at home due to a slight mishap the other night. Wednesday evening while playing with my youngest daughter (five years old) I sprained my ankle something fierce. Th Doc said it is one of the worst she has ever seen. So here I am with my cane, and a Western Walker (Big plastic walking boot/brace) for at least a week. Good thing is I can work from home, as the doc said no stairs for at least 7 days.
The actual mishap occurred after my daughter said her Kung-FU was stronger than mine, and proceeded to say "bring it old man" while waiving me forward with her fingers. Next thing I know, my left foot slips out from underneath me when I step on the dogs blanket on a hardwood floor, and when I go to correct, I seriously roll my right ankle.
The only good part about the accident is this. As soon as I go down, my daughter doesn't even hesitate. What I can only describe as a very loud Xena Warrior Princess scream comes from her and she is on me, delivering her best Kung-Fu ever. As she finishes the smack smack down on her old man, she gets off and says to me, "I told you my Kung-Fu was stronger."
All my wife could say was "And you wonder where she gets it?" :whistling: And then she had to mention the upcoming Vegas trip in a week and give me a few scolding glances.
Time for a smoke!
