So Monday night was the scrimage for the co-ed charity touch football league i'm in. It's actually really cool because we get to practice in this little bubble that the Giants hold their practices in...last time we were there we found a defensive playbook .
Anyway, with about 1:20 left in the game we were tied up and driving. I was running a post, when my QB hit me in stride...I went to make another cut to the right, when my cleat got caught in the turf, and....
CRACK! I knew I had hurt something really bad right away. I mean it felt like cracking your knuckle but right in the middle of your foot. I immediately fell to the floor, but ended up walking on it for a night until the morning when I couldn't walk...
Fractured Fitfth Metatarsal (possibly a Jone fracture). If it is indeed a Jones fracture it's probably the hardest to heal due to the lack of blood flow to the area the fracture is in. I go to get re-examined by the orthopedic surgeon on Tuesday.
I've been miserable laying in bed all week, but hey at least I caught the ball. (We went on to win the game 2 plays later.)
I didn't get any...I'm on regular over the counter crap. So I went into CVS today and asked the pharmacist "What the strongest OTC pain killer you have?"

Whoa. I had no idea that co-ed charity touch football could be so rough!
Take care of yourself. You'll have lots of time to hang out here while you recouperate, right?

Your problem is that you asked that to a pharmacist... you need to ask the same question to a bartender.
