living in a town called normal

Tuesday, October 9th 2007

we are trying to catch up with life after a hectic weekend of tears and happiness. i needed 2 days to recover mainly because my left ankle was killing me. i broke my ankle about 14 years ago and it has given me trouble ever since. it was a very bad break that required 2 surgeries, 3 months in a cast and 6 months of physical therapy. it has never been the same. it swells all the time, especially when it's hot and humid. and as i have gotten older it gets more stiff and painful, especially w...
