Honest Doc, it went like this...

You see, it was raining, and I am not talking a mild summer rain, I am talking monsoon rains.  You know, the sound like a freight train and you are looking around for the funnel cloud rain.  The rain that manages to come down our chimney, wetting the carpet in the living room and dripping through to the basement and splatter all over the varnished items on the top of the freezer rain.  Get the picture?  So I call dear hubby down to look at the splattered items sitting on top of the freezer otherwise doubling as a varnishing counter and show him the water issue.  Apparently, all the other times that this has happened I have just TOLD him about the issue and he has not heard me TELL him about it.   In defense of the poor guy, he does not venture into my area very often for fear of his life, however this time he SAW the problem and starts to insist that the problem is with the window behind the freezer.  I tell him repeatedly that it is the chimney and in true male form the look I read on his face is "What do you know, you're just a woman!"  Mind you, that was his look, not his words, one thing about it at 50+ they know when to hold their tongue MOST of the time.  And this is the turning point of the story...

Dear Hubby says. "So Miss Exercise Woman, just jump up on that freezer and check that window"  As I turn to find a chair, a stool, a coffee can he proceeds to push my butt (literally) right up onto the freezer.  As my left thigh goes past the 1950's chrome handle on the freezer it make one heck of a red lump on the front of my leg and as my right ankle...the one that I have been having trouble with, TWISTS...I let out a combination yell, scream, moan sound that sounded strange even to my ears.  The pain was unbelievable!  At that point dear hubby tries to lift me off the freezer and I grab his ear and twist it screaming, "GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU HAVE DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE!"  Not one of the happier marriage moments that I have had.  Amazingly enough, whatever twisted in my ankle actually seemed to help it. 

All would have been fine UNTIL...after everything had calmed down, he says to me, "So, how much are you scaling in at these days, you are heavier than I thought!"  And that doc is where HIS injuries came from!
