When my sister injured her ankle a few months ago, her big mistake was immobilising it for too long. I admit, I was over-using it the first week because there was no other way to do things around the house, and then because I refused to limit my range to where I could properly crutch to (no upper body strength). I've spent two days fending for myself (which is easier without even the one crutch) now that the "weight off" period is done.
So I'm not going to err on the side of immobile. Am I likely damaging anything by not minding the pain as much as I could (it hurts, I'm grumpy, I elevate it when I sit, I'm not using crutches at home, but it definitely hurts too much to do anything without the tensor bandage)? Or is it just another pain thing? I don't like that, but at least it's math I'm familiar with.
Aurelia, that sounds lovely!
Ita_!, I have no useful information for you. I hope someone does, though.
I'd really like to do this without another doctor. It just...no. But I still need to triage my stupidity.
On the cheerful side of things, my sister was all "What??? You don't remember dinner with Judi Dench and Michael Williams???"
FUCK OFF I DO NOT. Why would you have left me at home? Why would everyone in my family but me go over for dinner and I stay home? They let me near Thatcher, but not Dench?
Or maybe I did go. And I don't remember...
Buffista parents, do you think 5 is too young for a child to start watching Avatar: the Last Airbender?

not a parent, but how does your child deal with cartoon violence?
I would probably say on a gut level, that 5 is too young (given the themes and periodic violence), but I think it depends on your child.
Huh. In

news, it looks like I'm going to be doing some sort of webcam/video chat with @HuffPostLive on Friday, about "Living Goth - from teenage to now".
