***Sympathy Request***
Apr. 29th, 2008 09:27 pmOkay, so: in my efforts to be totally I hot, I work out. 5 days a week, circuit training with bonus cardio is what I'm willing to do in pursuit of Spike's abs. Well bonus cardio up until a month ago because I damaged my foot. I now have tendonitis in my arms and a (temporarily I hope) damaged tendon in my foot. Well clearly my mother did not do up to spec work because I'm fairly sure I damaged a tendon in my knee today.
I did my circuit of weights and fast cardio (jumping jacks, jump rope, etc...) and hopped on the treadmill for my first run in over a month. 6 FREAKING MINUTES into my run and my knee collapses. I damn near fell off the treadmill. Luckily, I have Angel's beefcake kung-fu to protect me and I managed to shut the thing down before I faceplanted. It took two hours of rest, alternating ice and heat, plus some very nice prescription anti-inflammatory drugs before I could put any weight on my knee. I already have a doctor's appointment for tomorrow, for something totally different, but right now? I want some sympathy dammit!
Also? Some hurt/comfort fics would be a sweet gesture. Bonus sweetness for Spike/Xander kinkiness thrown in.

Lots of sympathy hugs and vodka (which goes really well with pain meds)

Nah. I gotta get little man to school in the morning and the pain pills make me sleepy. Plus I don't have any booze in the house and it's raining. But I will take all the hugs I can get. Thanks, hon!
