I work at the downtown PO and after working 12 hours they sent us home, took a girl home that had planned to spend the night in her car in our parking lot. Plannedd means pillow, blanket, clean clothes, meds, toothpast and brush deoderant, body splash. Took me all night to convince her it was a bad idea. drove to south side milw, greenfield, dropped her off. Then to the far northside without a problem, till I got home and couldnt get in my driveway even.worked with it untill I got it off the street, blocking the sidewalk at 330 am wed.. Drifts over the height of the jeep. left it there till the morning and worked the snow just wide enought to get to the garage in time to get to work wed afternooon.

No big deal except it's been like that pretty much since the end of November.

Don't forget the blizzard of 93/94..

Here in western PA we got as much as 20 inches with the first nights snow fall.. Got up the next mourning and could'nt get out the door..

We've had ice storms that were so nasty that there was thunder and lightening along with it.. Had to pull off the road and scrape my windshield and get the ice off my wipers.. That was with the defrost on full blast too..

... I wouldn't bother with an MRI because a sprain is a tear so it's torn. You should've had an xray to check for bone fragments though. Don't freak out if it turns black it's just pooled blood from the torn ligaments. Ditch the crutches as soon as you can...putting weight and walking on it helps the healing. As the swelling goes down work on stretching it really good everyday so the ligaments heal at the correct length; otherwise you could have permanent range of motion issues.

Appreciate the advice, they did do an initial X-ray which is how I know nothing is broke. I will definitely ditch the crutches asap, I hate them and there is 14+ inches of snow on the ground and more coming down as I type. I will keep it stretched, I can't afford to lose my range of motion too much. I'm a surveyor so I need all the range I can get. I may still go to a ortho doc just to be sure, the er docs have a bad habit of being wrong around here, or only being partially right. Thanks again

We had sleet last night, but it was to warm and it did nothing but melt, and we don't have anything in our forecast for winter storms. But hell how often is the weather man ever right anyway!!!

Saw the coolest thing ever the other day. We had couple highways that drifted over like 7-10 feet. Plows couldn't do anything with it. Well they brought in these insanely huge snow blowers. Bigger than the one I seen in the Rockies even. Not on an articulated end loader either, they were on dedicated big azz trucks.

Man i used to get teachers in trouble all the time. Teachers are people too and people do stupid things if you piss them off enough.

**Smkn_TA** · 02-04-2011, 12:38 PM

Yeah...I'm sure you never gave him any reason to have a grudge against you.

How the hell did the teacher know if you was not their or not if the teacher wasn't their either, seems like that teacher had it out for you. I would have probably of done the same thing with the principle, sounds a little stupid!!
