No I am not cancelling you are not going to be that lucky,but you see I have a very serious problem here in Pearl, uh I mean the Howland Islands. You see Friday late my neighbor, nephew and I were working on nephew's truck, replacing a water pump actually.
We got the ground good and wet and as I was stepping on a wet spot that was neither grass nor gravel but just plain dirt, my right foot slipped out from under me. I was all twisted up trying not to fall on neighbors 10 year old boy who had to have his little arse right in my falling path.
I should have fallen on the kid, better him than me and he was in the way but noooooooo I had to be the hero. So I am laying there trying to figure out what has happened and nephew says "You ok" Hell no I was not ok, my life was passing before me as I lay there dying. Anyway I felt like I had a groin pull and I rose to my feet very carefully. Turns out my groin was ok but my ankle was not.
Now how could it be hurt when it was in the air all the time is my question to you? So I start walking very slowly and my ankle hurt and I felt like crying. That night later it started to swell, my ankle not the other, and some serious pain followed.
Yesterday morning I found my crutches and started using them. Funny you are more likely to hurt yourself from crutches tripping you than just regular falling. My foot and ankle were not as swollen this morning but soon after I arose the swelling came back, the ankle not the other.
I can stand on it with no pain but I better not do a normal walking motion or twist it in any way or the pain is immeasurable. I have decided that it is terminal and I won't make it so good bye to all my friends and could maybe some of you nice ladies please say a few kind words about me at my funeral?

I will TRY to think of a few kind words to say about you at your funeral, but I'm not making any promises. I would really have to think hard about this. Oh, I know! I might mention to them what a swollen guy you were. Your ankle......not the other. 
Do I dare mention that this is a cute blog? 
I hope you feel better soon, Jacksonboy...perhaps these will help, but I really doubt it.

In years gone by I've discovered that if you consult someone in the medical profession they won't be able to do anything for you, but I'll assure you that they'll have a name for whatever might be wrong with the ankle. My advice is to keep your money in your pocket and stay off that foot for a couple weeks. Time heals everything.

Well, honestly, I'm glad it's your ankle & not the other. 
What a trip, huh? Sorry for the pun, which, yes, was intended.
And with all that said, I'm gonna shoot it to you straight...
I could say nothing but nice words about you at your funeral, as you are nothing but a nice person.
Get well soon!

Today, we grieve the loss of our dear friend Jackson boy.
He heroically fell on his ass and died Friday afternoon.
The Police are investigating allegations that a 10 year old neighbor boy pushed him.
He is the beloved husband of all the women on Match Doctor.
He got each and everyone of us knocked up by dirty emails. I will personally miss the email sex.
He leaves behind a Four Wheeler, A Winchester Rifle and a spot in his grass where his ass hit the dirt.
He will be missed. Except by the kid that pushed him.
Services will be held at the 'You shouldn't have wet down your yard Funeral Parlor"
It located at - 45723 What the hell were you thinking Avenue
in Crazytown, USA
Hope you feel better soon. Hope your ass is ok.

At least you will have company, there where you will be going....
since a great number of guys did and do just like you: they die - slowly and miserably, and telling the whole world - because they twisted a limb or bumped their butt.... 
I even knew one who regularly died because his hair hurt too much...
Luckily there is resurrection...

He leaves behind a Four Wheeler, A Winchester Rifle and a spot in his grass where his ass hit the dirt. I got dibs on the Four Wheeler! 
I will drive it to the funeral with a trailer load of kind words.
Keep it elevated for awhile, take some tylenol to keep the swelling down and I hope you make a speedy recovery.

Well Darlin'......
This is another fine mess you've gotten yourself into...YIKES
Ted Bundy crutches....never trust a man who using those....
Now just think...you will have to spend MORE time on the computer @ MD and write BLOGS. This proposition takes NO FEET.
I suggest you nurse a small glass of Maker's Mark to alleviate a bit of the pain and alternate between sipping, resting, eating, and playing on your Dell. A mini-vac!
My mom always said not to ever set bones (cast, etc) on your feet or they don't heel correctly for movement. I have broken both feet, didn't have them set or have casts and she's right!! Today I have little or no pain in them.
Take care of yourself, my friend..
