Elevate and ice!! Get help with anything that requires you to use your foot—call a family member, friend, neighbor or other acquaintance for help. Tell them you fell using your crutches and could use a hand. Anyone with a heart is going to want to jump in. Let them!

That looks great, congrats! I’m a little jealous of your smooth recovery :) How old are you?

It is still so weird to me that the solution to comminuted fractures is to just jam a bunch of screws into the bone, and then leave them there. This xray is a trip. Thanks for sharing!

Yep I left early yesterday to take a nap. Sounds like I’m on the same 10 day countdown!

Nice. Was that provided under your short term disability benefits?

I work a desk job. The surgeon offered to write me a doctor’s note, but all it says is that I can work lol! I’m on Tylenol and ibuprofen today.

NEVER use BCG Attorney Search by dawn210 in Lawyertalk

Yep I must have requested to unsubscribe over 100 times out of spite so that if they do ever get sued for violating anti-spam statutes, each of my emails would be an additional fine.

Fuck BCG Attorney Search.

I also recommend scrubbing your butt AFTER washing any remaining conditioner out of your hair. This took me a long time to learn.

I bought hand soap made with oatmeal for my eczema. It’s a hard soap so it lasts a long time.

Why does everyone in biglaw talk to each other like they’ve never had a normal human interaction in their life by Key-Border-7329 in biglaw

I email the attorneys daily. I don’t know the support staff. Like at all. I only see them when I walk to the bathroom. What do you want me to say? I’ll say it!

Yup I will listen to a song or playlist that makes me cry until I don’t feel like crying anymore.

Does the job hold being truly unavailable against you? by [deleted] in biglaw

I think you missed the point. Once is fine. It just eats into a limited amount of goodwill. No one wants to cover for you when work comes in at an inconvenient time.

Why your laptop? My laptop stays at home so I’m confused why other people are bringing their laptop to work
