Written from the sidelines

[lucymonster]

I have a talar dome fracture in my right foot. I'm not thrilled - I had a lot of competitive and fitness goals for this year that are now going to be set back by at least several weeks in a cast followed by several more of rehab. There's a small but unpleasantly non-zero chance that I could end up needing surgery.

On the bright (?) side, I've been grumbling for ages that my sports commitments have been crowding out the rest of my life, so now's my big chance to do some catch-up. There's a bunch of fic I want to write. And filigranka sent me a great pile of Leia/Hux fic and meta recently, which I'll now have more spare time to read! I can spend more time with friends and get through all the life admin that I'm normally too tired to handle. It's not all bad.

I also got some really cool x-rays and CT scans of the injury, but getting them to display on DW is exceeding both my technical capacity and my patience right now. HMU if you're a skeleton foot fetishist and want pictures of the good stuff, I guess.

Aw, that sucks. It's good you've found a bright side, though?

Also now I am wondering if "skeleton foot fetishist" is actually a thing and... it probably is. Oh humanity.

In fairness to our hypothetical skeleton-fetishising friends, foot bones are pretty cool! In as much as one can enjoy a trip to ER, I really enjoyed looking at the scans.

Not enjoyed enjoyed, though. But as you say, humanity.

Aaah. I'm so sorry to hear about your injury, but I'm glad that there are at least a few bright sides. I hope your recovery goes well!

[lucymonster]

Thanks for the well-wishes! The injury could have been a lot worse, so as long as I'm sensible and patient about it, I can probably expect a smooth recovery.

Oh nooooo not being able to sport because of injury is the worst! Fingers crossed the recovery goes well, and that you enjoy catching up on other things <3

[lucymonster]

Ugh, it really is the worst. By weird coincidence, the doctor who saw me in ER was a sports friend - we actually train at the same facility. She gave me a very encouraging talk about what to expect from the forced downtime and how to keep my spirits up, so I'm feeling equipped, if not exactly pleased.

I feel pressured to say you don't need to read the links, like, at all.

I'm so sorry you got injured! I hope your recovery will be a speedy and smooth one! <3 <3

You're cruel to break our hearts like this! ;)

[lucymonster]

No pressure at all, I'm excited! (And slow. I'm sorry I'm so slow with this stuff - it's not the content, it's me and my personality flaws lol.)

I've never actually met a skeleton fetishist, or heard of one, but now that I've thought about it I'm absolutely sure they exist. And I support their lifestyle choices.

Thank you for the well-wishes! <3

Awe, injuries are not the business. I hope your recovery goes well and you get to all the things you've been putting off.

[lucymonster]

Appreciate it, thank you! <3
