If it's torn completely, no treatment but surgery will work, and because she's overweight she runs the risk of tearing the other ligament. There are support braces, so I can look into that. If it's only partially torn, it should heal to some extent, though she'll never walk normally again.
Mal: Does.. um.. does this seem kind of tight? Kaylee: Shows off your backside.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The status is NOT quo.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Poor Zoe! (And poor Pix) Vibing hard that medical treatment works.

Our wings are not tired.
Byron will enjoy the company of goofy walkers!
But seriously, I am sorry to hear this! Poor Zoe and poor you.

Oh Kristin, that's such a bad bunch of news. I'm sorry.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Oh Kristin, I am so sorry!! Poor Zoe and poor you!!

“Not dead yet!”
Oh no, Kristin, poor you and poor Zoe! Lots of ~ma that it can be resolved without surgery.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Poor Zoe.
Ugh. In the past few hours, my ankle has gone from "somewhat achy" to "walking? Is that a thing I'm supposed to be able to do?" I don't know why. And now my other ankle is hurting a little, too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, feel better, Zoe.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Poor Zoe! Pix, give him a scritch from me. Decision~ma for you. Hopefully it's an easy one.
IOmeN, all miscelanous magazines have been properly disposed of. 2/3rd of a granny cart was full of magazines. Thank you Half Priced Books. They bout about 100 issues off me for a whopping $4. What they don't resell, they recycle. Works for me. I estimate about 25# of paper not being packed. And when you factor near $1/lb for the movers. And now I have a one free shelf too. And, I no longer have any old Playboys sitting on a shelf. Never read them again, why keep them, right?
OK, I need to jump on the paper sorting/filing/trashing task.

Clearly not for the articles.
