Boobie Babble

Let me tell you a story.  I haven't 'babbled' in quite a while and when I get really low it seems that, along with God, writing gives me great comfort.  It is extremely cathartic.  So I will begin at the beginning.  Last summer I suffered sever sprain in my left ankle, the 6th total.
