Well.

It would appear that I've broken my ankle without noticing.

For everyone who doesn't understand why a high pain tolerance is a problem, THIS IS THE PROBLEM. A lot of people hear that I don't feel major injuries and tell me I'm lucky. NOPE. NO. WRONG. When YOU break a bone, you say, "OW. OW, THIS IS CAUSING PAIN. OW." When I break a bone, I say something like, "Hey what are they serving at [university cafeteria] today?" or "LOOK AH-DA PUPPAAYYY," or other things you say when your ankle isn't broken and you live in the city in which I live, because FYI there are a lot of puppies.

Breaking a bone the first time was kind of novel, for me, because I was thinking, Wow, now I've done something a lot of people never do, I must be a sporty badass with cool hair. The second time, it's just annoying and tedious to take care of. And ugly.

Also people won't let me lift things or walk, which are two of my favorite things to do.

Furthermore, it's really hard to walk my boyfriend (unintentional phrasing but effectively true, since I essentially have to drag him out) until his knee hurts and he wants to just be lazy at home, when my ankle is too sensitive to walk those distances.

And then I'm forced to do what HE wants, since he doesn't get tired out, which is usually some loser crap like having fun with friends or getting lattes at my favorite coffee shop.

LAME.


Thank goodness I had friends who pushed me into giving him my number.


Broke my losing streak, broke my toe, broke my ankle. What a summer.

It somewhat baffles me that you could break an ankle and not realize it. How did you finally figure it out?

Yay pain tolerances! I'm with random, how did you pull that off? Did you think you just sprained it badly and could walk it off? I had something like that happen once, it wasn't pleasant at all.

I'm pretty sure I've broken my pinky toe more times than I've got toes.

My friend sprained her ankle and tore some ligaments or something in her foot once and noticed but didn't take it seriously (we were all extremely intoxicated) but she has like no pain tolerance so I thought she was being a weenie and kept telling her to walk it off (we probably walked at least 3 miles after it happened that night) but the next morning when she woke up it was swole bigger than a softball and black as I've ever seen flesh. To this day I feel horrible about it and that was a good 7 years ago. Is bruising and such what made you notice? Also don't broken ankles take like FOREVER to heal?
