Health Update 7/26/06

As of right now, I think my ankle sprain is a little bit better. I'm able to put a little weight on it while I am crutchging around. I still feel like I whent 10 rounds with a heavy weight boxing champ. Towards the end of the 6 hour ibuprofen timeline my headache starts up, aches and pains start to reappear. Plus the seatbelt left me with some "nice contusions," so any pants smaller than XXL rub my seatbelt burn and sting. BAGGY is good! Oh...did I mention more bruieses are starting to come to the surface. So today I'm going to try and take it easy. Hopefully any problems can be handled via a phone call or email, because running around to the sheriff's office wiped me out more than I expected.

On another front, here's the beauty of our criminal justice system at work. The guy who hit me is in Jail until August 7th (unless he gets bailed out). He will than be released with a court date, which probably won't be for a year or so. So this person who had no problem driving around allegedly drunk, and allegedly on drugs with a revoked license will be back out on the street. So what is to stop this guy from doing it again? His own conscience? Somehow I'm a little skeptical on that. I could sense the frustration in the officer's voice as we discussed this stuff. Needless to say it's a little frustrating to me too.
