It’s really annoying. I think I pulled something in my calf. BRING ME SYMPATHY! ---

Sympathy is little tweeting bird chirping in a meadow. Sympathy is wreath of pretty flowers that smell bad. ---

It doesn’t hurt anymore, and I have all of you to thank for it! Or Tylenol, possibly. ---

Can you make my leg pain go away now? I developed a crappy case of shin splints within a day of being cleared to walk normally…(following the broken toe, for those playing along at home) ---

Does it hurt when you do this? Then don’t do that anymore. ---

> [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > Does it hurt when you do this? Then don’t do that anymore. I actually took that advice. I had an insane number of vacation days available, and a really light work load right now. So I’m taking Friday, Monday, and Tuesday off. (Thursday is a holiday already.) My leg doesn’t hurt if I’m just sitting around on the sofa or occasionally getting up to go to the kitchen or bar. But walking around the office is very painful. ---
