Winter is Fun!

[katallison]

So, the very best part of winter isn't the shoveling tons of snow ... or the going out in -30 windchill ... or the fact that it NEVER ENDS ...

No, the bestest part of all is falling on the GODDAMNED ice and breaking one's GODDAMNED wrist.

(Right wrist, of COURSE, being as how I'm right-handed.)

May I just say FUCK. Also, dear GOD the ER is a tedious place to spend three hours.

Upside? Scrip for Vicodin, dudes! You suppose I could trade half of it to Greg House in exchange for some dirty, dirty, carnal roistering? (*g*)

Ow. Pilling up and heading to bed now, and apologies in advace if I don't get replies to any comments out (and don't feel obligedto comment!) -- typing is a bit cumbersome.

DAMN YOU WINTER.

(Oh and C.--do NOT feel bad, this could've happened anywhere. *hugs*)

ETA: Ah hahahahahahaha!! I forgot to specify non-childproof cap on the g.d. Vicodin! Just TRY opening a childproof cap w/a broken wrist!

Oh no! Take care of yourself (and good luck with that bottle of Vicodin)!

*hugs*

*hugging you back*

I think you had the right idea getting the heck out of the north and back to a warm climate (although I'm sure I won't feel that way in July).

Thank you for the kind words!

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

*shakes fist at winter on your behalf*

Um, ouch. I hope the Vicodin takes the ouch off for you and makes this whole experience marginally less unpleasant.

*signs your cast, virtually speaking*

[katallison.livejournal.com]

Heee! I now have a very cool cast in basic black, so it won't work for actual signing (though virtual should be fine), but maybe I can get some stickers on it at M.J.

Thank you for the kind words!

[theodosia.livejournal.com]

Oh, damn -- I'm so sorry! Heal quickly and easily!

In the cold, it should be easy to smash the plastic of the Vicodin bottle with a hammer....

[katallison.livejournal.com]

I did finally manage to pry the lid off, and the drugs were well worth it. *g*

Thanks so much for the kind words, and I hope all is well with you!

[chickwriter.livejournal.com]

Oh, OUCH!

::Curses at winter on your behalf::

::hugs you:: (avoiding the wrist)

At least there are drugs.

[katallison.livejournal.com]

*Hugs you back, trying not to clonk you with the cast*

Thank you! (And the drugs really do help...)

[killabeez.livejournal.com]

Oh, god, crap! Honey, I'm so sorry. {{{{hugs you gently}}}} Take care of that thing, and let it heal, and stay in your nice soft bed until summer, okay? (I know, if only.) {{{{{}}}}}

[katallison.livejournal.com]

If only, indeed. I do think the cosmos is trying to send me a message , and that message is "GET YOUR ASS THE HELL OUT OF MINNESOTA." (I could be reading a little in, I suppose.)

thank you so much for the kind words! (*hugging you back*)

[brooklinegirl.livejournal.com]

omg, KAT. why does winter HATE YOU SO MUCH? *pets you gently*

(and the vicodin w/the childproof cap is the SADDEST STORY EVER.)

[katallison.livejournal.com]

*snuggles up it to you, sniveling* I am so PISSED at myself as well as at winter, because anyone who's lived here for more than five minutes should understand that when you fall on the ice you do NOT put your hand out, you TUCK AND ROLL. Fraser would know that! And Fraser would not have stupid counter-survival FLAIL instincts that screwed him up!

(I did finally get the Vicodin out, and it does make everything better.)

[sanj.livejournal.com]

Oh, OW. I'm so sorry!

[katallison.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It actually is much better today, now that the cast's on.

[cereta.livejournal.com]

Ow ow ow! I'm so sorry! Feel better, and no reply necessary!

[katallison.livejournal.com]

(*g*) I'm actually experimenting with voice recognition software to do replies, and it's great fun. May I send you sympathies in return on your students (or at least the willfully clueless among them).

[darthrami.livejournal.com]

Oh no! Here are many good thoughts for a swift recovery. Broken bones are NOT FUN. *hugs*

[katallison.livejournal.com]

thank you so much for the kind words and good wishes! (*hugs back*)

[the-shoshanna.livejournal.com]

oh, fuck! I'm so sorry.

[katallison.livejournal.com]

Well, having made it 53 years without ever breaking a bone, I figure I'm overdue. (*g*) Not that this is what I had in mind for spring, granted.

see you at M.J.! (and you can admire my sleek black cast).

[beledibabe.livejournal.com]

Well, damn! I hope you heal quickly, and wish I lived nearby to help with cooking, shopping, and shoveling.

[katallison.livejournal.com]

Hey, I could always send you a plane ticket! (*g*)

Thanks so much for the kind words and good wishes -- can't wait to see you at M.J.!

[arallara.livejournal.com]

Oh, honey. That's just completely ridiculous. I am so, so sorry. What a completely stupid thing to have to deal with. (Note: I am not saying you are stupid and ridiculous for falling on the goddamned ice! No, no--the universe is a stupid place where that gets to be your special winter bonus gift for all the time spent responsibly shoveling. Stupid!!)

[katallison.livejournal.com]

I am, predictably, reading this as the cosmos telling me to get the hell out of Minnesota.

I'm feeling much better today actually , and I have a groovy black cast. thefourthvine just wrote to say I should get everyone to write on it with glitter pens at M.J. , which is a brilliant idea. (*g*)

see you before too long!

[hetrez.livejournal.com]

God, that sounds like the kind of awful where you might start laughing hysterically just to get yourself used to the idea. I'm sorry, sweetie. Get better soon!

[katallison.livejournal.com]

I tell you, between the childproof cap and the interminable wait in the ER waiting room while being pummeled with the public television station's membership drive featuring Suze Orman, it was a pretty hysterical evening all around . I'm feeling better already, though, and thank you so much for the kind words!

[nestra.livejournal.com]

Oh, no! {{{Kat}}} I send you many wrist-healing vibes.

[katallison.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, m'dear! it's hurting less already, I'm glad to say.

[jackiekjono.livejournal.com]

*is horrified*

Ack!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there anything I can get you? Flowers, chocolate, a kidney?!?!?!

I am so sorry about my evil front sidewalk. I put salt on it, then it melts and refreezes smooth in the evening. Argh!

[akite.livejournal.com]

Here are some "Get Well Soon" flowers for you. *hugs* Winter sucks, which is why I live in South Texas.

[kadymae.livejournal.com]

Heal swiftly.

[panisdead.livejournal.com]

Oh my God, dude, heal quickly!

[vagabondage.livejournal.com]

HUGS

OMG, Kat, honey, that truly sucks ass. I'd hate to see you move even further away from me, but the universe *does* seem to be saying GET AWAY FROM SNOW! loud and clear for you this winter.

MORE HUGS

Dr. Zen prescribes watching Hard Core Logo while heavily dosed with vicodin.

[tazlet.livejournal.com]

Sucks! Do not neglect the PT.

[reginagiraffe]

Oh no! That's terrible!

*sends lots of bone-healing booboo kisses*

[planetalyx.livejournal.com]

Ow! Oh, I'm so sorry, Kat. You should come here and let us feed you soup and open your pill bottle and dictate smut for me to type.

[giglet.livejournal.com]

Oh Kat!

So... no more shovelling for you, this winter.

I suggest drugs, fic, and plenty of dirty carnal roistering. Oh yes.

And chocolate.

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

I am *so* sorry. Ow.

Throughout the entire four months I spent in Syracuse, NY, I feared slipping on the ice and breaking bones. I *lived in mortal terror*, I mean to tell ya. It's scary.

I would just leave the cap off the bottle, myself...

[kittygoslingp.livejournal.com]

Damn, so sorry to hear about your accident.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.
