Um, Can I Have My Life back, Please?
3 days into my injury and I'm done with it. Despite rest, ice, compression and elevation (and at the doctor's suggestion, heat and copious amounts of ibuprofen), my knee is still HUGE.
I did get tired of hobbling around like an old lady (and of being stared at by all the stupidheads here who have apparently never seen a person with a serious limp before), so Dave and I went and picked up some crutches yesterday. It's so nice to be able to move at a normal pace again (though Dave refers to it as running--hey, I'm just trying to get my heart rate up).
As a consolation prize, we bought a bunch of DVDs on Friday and watched Shaun of the Dead that evening. We howled with laughter throughout the movie, and 24 hours later were still finding things to chuckle about. One of our favorite scenes is when they are arguing over what records to use to fend off the pursuing zombies. Another is when he deals with the dart in his head.
So we were tremendously disappointed to learn that it wasn't nominated for a best screenplay Oscar, because it rocks. I mean, hysterical laughter, serious blood-pumping thrills and true pathos all wrapped up in one movie, along with a bunch of tremendous performances by living and undead alike. What's not to like?
