wow...
Not like your day, I don't. At least it's been a long time since I had one that bad.
Sorry for your day and your ankle. Yeah, specialists can be jerks sometimes. Had a bit of a run in with my Orthopedic Surgeon one day that wasn't pretty.
Hope things brighten for you tomorrow, and glad you found you mom!

You are a trooper. I'd have packed it in after getting that hurt ankle! ....Okay, I probably even wouldn't have run after the bus.
Hope you have a sweet weekend to make up for it. Take it easy on the ankle ( maybe use a tensor wrap).
At least you didn't have this happen to you:
Good grief, what a day! I hope your ankle heals properly and quickly and that your being sent to a cardiologist was a false alarm!!!
Sorry about your ankle and whatever-you-went-to-cardiology-for.. I hope you are soon better. All the more reason to rest your ankle and use the computer to give us more of the intelligent posts that stretch our brain
LOL...Midget....Something kinda similar happened to me the last full day I was in London in '97. A bird chose where I went for dinner that night. That is to say, I had my guidebook out at a street corner looking at the restaurants and trying to find the best place to eat at, when suddenly a pigeon dropped his load into my hair and into the book. Well, I had to find a restroom rather quickly! And the only public restroom there was to be found was at a restaurant. But to use the restaurant, you had to be a customer. So thus, the bird chose for me where I had my dinner.
My ankle is feeling better...I can walk on it now mostly okay now.
The cardiologist gave me a tiny portable recording device to use in case I get arrhythmia again. Well, I have it for a month at least.
SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LEAVE JEHOVAH'S ORGANIZATION!

I'm glad that made ya smile. Being close to the Great Lakes, my avian nemesis is the seagull. I got hit twice by those buggers at the most embarrassing of times. Once in my mid teens, at a nice conservation area (Christie's near Hamilton), with my cousin and a mix of his cool and hot friends witnessing it. Another time in my mid twenties, at Canada's WonderLand (a theme-park north of Toronto) with some JWs - that wouldn't let up on it for the rest of the day.
I really hope the arrhythmia turns out to be a temporary sitch, or at least nothing serious. Do you like eating fish? Here's an abstract you might find interesting:
omega3 fatty acids in the prevention-management of cardiovascular disease
Simopoulos A.P.
A.P. Simopoulos, Center Genetics, Nutrition and Hlth, 2001 S Street N.W., Washington, DC 20009 USA
Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology (Canada), 1997, 75/3 (234-239)
Epidemiologic studies show that populations who eat fish versus those who do not have a reduced death rate from cardiovascular disease. Experimental studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids affect the function of cells involved in atherothrombosis in numerous ways, including the modification of eicosanoid products in the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways, the reduced synthesis of cytokines and platelet-derived growth factor, and alterations of leukocyte and endothelial cell properties. Intervention studies in patients with restenosis, myocardial infarction, and cardiac arrhythmias with omega-3 fatty acid supplementation have been addressed in several clinical studies. The ingestion of omega-3 fatty acids following one episode of myocardial infarction appears to decrease the rate of cardiac death. These effects of omega-3 fatty acids appear to be due to their antiarrhythmic properties. In fact, fish oil has been shown to reduce ventricular arrhythmias and to be more beneficial than currently used pharmacologic agents. The dose, duration, and mechanisms involved in the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease following omega-3 fatty acid ingestion or supplementation need to be investigated by double blind controlled clinical trials.
Damn, that's a crappy day. I had to work 12 hours, and the day went like crap because I'm sick. But nothing quite as bad as that. I hope your ankle feels better tommorow.
