Poor Italy! She kicked her knee out of joint. She was in so much pain yesterday that she was in tears and could barely walk.
She had left a message on my voice mail to ask if I would call her. Italy's always scoffed at physical discomfort that the distress in her voice led me to think someone had died not that she was injured. Hastily I returned her call and she informed me in a pained voice that she couldn't walk and needed to go to the urgent care at UT. Couple of hours later I got a call to come and pick her up. I got to play nurse for an hour while we got her prescription and food and I got her home. I think thats the most helpful I've ever been when a friend has been sick or hurt....I'm not very good with the whole nursing the sick since I'm rarely sick and hurt. I have a hard time being sympathetic and want to tell people "Buck up! The pain won't last!" Its a downfall..yes I know... Anyway here is a shout out to Italy and her bravery for her injured knee and I it feels better soon (I'm sure the vicodin will help with a lot of that!).
Side note: Its kinda scary how easily one can obtain someone else's prescription. I went in there and asked for it and they asked for my id which I explained I had left in the car with the injured person. She looked at me and said please sign the little slip and I paid and walked away with a full prescription of vicodin. I'm a bit concerned but it definitely made things easier last night.
