Good to remember that the bad man gets most of the press, but in this story there were two good men. 

In Their Words: The Swedish Heroes Who Caught The Stanford Sexual Assailant
The two men tackled Brock Turner and held him down until the police came. Turner’s victim called them heroes.

Doctor say anything to do for your foot?

Partial tear of the ligament. 
Lot of ice and scotch and it will be ok

Hee hee
Wish I could kiss it
8:48PM Phil
Not sure that would help. 
Scotch does though
8:48PM Sassy
You pouring it on your foot?
8:53PM Phil
Uh no!

Did you stay home?
I drove out to Framingham to hand over the stuff that belonged to my church friend who died in March to her cousin.  Done dealing with her estate!

Horse, corgis and dorgis

12:02PM Phil
Hope your week is good!
12:14PM Sassy
Good morning!  
Back at work trying to catch up on emails.  Whee.  
You back in DC?
12:27PM Phil
Nah, getting my foot looked at, did something to the arch
12:27PM Sassy
Ouch!  Hope they can fix it.
12:41PM Phil
Been bothering me awhile, I worked it pretty hard yesterday and it’s sore today
12:53PM Sassy
Fingers crossed for you.  Let me know what they say… 

Have you messed it up before?  Likely to be RICE – rest, ice, compression, elevation.  And sole supports.  Hope it’s not plantar fasciitis… had that, hated it… hurt like a SOB for 6 months!
12:55PM Phil
No, I’ve had that too.  Gonna go soak it in ice
The right ankle is so bad that I compensate on the left which causes its own issues. Fusion is the only solution for the ankle and I’m a long way from that
