Feb. 16th, 2013 11:26 pmOK, so I broke my ankle in three places on Monday. Everyone has asked me for the story, so I will recount in expanded detail.
( How I Broke My Ankle )
The upshot is that I'm going to be working from home for at least the next two weeks, will likely be on crutches for another 4-5 weeks, and according to the doctor, should make a full recovery. Not to sound too afterschool special about it, there's nothing like being on crutches to remind you how lucky you are to normally have two healthy limbs. I should also point out that my treatment, which included an ambulance ride to the hospital, three sessions of xrays, an overnight in a semi-private room, two hours of surgery including a plate and multiple screws/pins, and a two week supply of oxycodone for the pain will cost me a total of $257, less any coverage from work insurance on my ambulance. We might be all oppressed and communist and without freedom and shit up here, but at least my socialist medicine made this accident an annoyance to one paycheck, as opposed to a major debt to be paid off over the next three years.
All of this means that I'm going to be basically housebound for the next month or so. I have cable and the internet - what should I be watching over the next month now that I have time to mainline all the television in the world. Add to that movies, video games, and the like...
