drugs can be your friends (if taken as prescribed)

so....i was pretty amazed that when i fell and broke my ankle, i did not hurt anything else cuz i was airborn after i heard the ankle snap and then came full down on hard cement. it occurs to me today since i have just finally stopped the pain killers, that maybe it wasn't such a miracle after all. there is a real sore spot half way up the same leg, just below the knee, and my back and neck are toast today...hmmm. this sucks cuz i am heading out to the barn on those dratted, awkward crutches to walk (not really walk) greg thru the feeding/turn out routine. sigh...wednsday challenge number one, here we go.....
