Would you like one lump or two?
Sunday, June 3, 2007
About two weeks ago I fell and landed on a corner of concrete (basically I fell out of a raised garage door/loading bay) with this concrete edge being struck with all my weight on my right fibula (ie. the littler bone in your lower leg). Even though I was wrapped up in a double tensor bandage, when I took it off later that day I discovered that the force of the fall had cut me through the bandage.
Anyway, that part of my leg has nerve damage, so I couldn't feel the injury specifically (the lower leg largely doesn't register touch and is in a semi-permanent phantom pain state) so it was hard to gauge its severity. It's pretty raised up, and there's a large mass under the surface that appears to be as hard as (as well as attached to) the bone. I kind of feel like it's a minor greenstick fracture (or whatever the right name a partial break is in adults) so I'm thinking I should have it x-rayed. Even though I don't have any feeling in it, if I touch the area much I feel really sick for the next little while.
It's probably all in my head (or maybe I just like getting x-rays)… But it wouldn't be the first time I ignored a broken bone and didn't bother treating it!
Just north of Beaver Lake, Ontario

You know, it was very pretty and all, but if you're going to advertise a property as “50 acres of waterfront with a good building site” you should probably qualify the statement if the truth of the matter is that it's 3 acres of EP-zoned land, 17 acres of swamp, and 30 acres of lake… Another family was there checking it out and seemed pretty let down as well.
I think that assuming I'm not some Sarno-style mental self abuser, I may have hurt my back somehow. Wow was that a difficult drive… We took a nice break at Ryan and Corrie's place and I lay on their lawn and played with dogs for an hour or two which I always enjoy immensely.
Watersnakes
Saturday, June 2, 2007
We saw lots of water snakes today. A kid that was at the beach that I was exploring with who was maybe ten or so (but with a ton of knowledge on the subject) found most of them as we walked the shore along the cliff face, and I took the pictures. This was one of the bigger ones.

This bit of rap planning was found scrawled in the information booklet of the hotel I'm at…
Taking off
Saturday, June 2, 2007
I am going to go have a shower, put some clothes in a bag, dump all the garbage out of my car, and go for a very, very long drive. I'm going to bring along my computer but I might be offline until tomorrow… both BME (well, almost — it will be shortly assuming the FTP was good) and ModBlog are updated.
Very, very tired right now but it will be nice to get some fresh air in the country.
