At the gym?

No. I was helping my mom move some chairs, and whilst carrying one, I stepped off what I thought was the last step of a flight of stairs. Turned out there were three steps instead of one; I literally heard the ligament going "twang". Luckily it didn't snap, and I didn't break a bone.

Still, it's keeping me out of the gym, and increasing my CPI (Couch Potato Index), which is NOT what I want.

I did not know that. Was it a surprise or were you warned?[:(]

Well, I had 30 days to choose between a very iffy prospect of finding another position
with the company or a severance package of 3 month's pay. I chose door #2. [8D]

Same choice I had in January - I too chose option 2. Seemed like a good idea at the time. I have an interview next week for a new job - fingers crossed. Have you got something else lined up?

No. I have it bandaged up, take a good cocktail of painkillers when I come to work, and put my foot up as much as I can.

Sorry to hear about the sprain, T, but glad it was not much more serious. Getting old does suck! [:D]

Any chance you can get to the gym to do some upper body work to reduce the CPI? [:)]
