Get well, Baakay!

Earlier this morning, Baakay was on her way to work when she was the subject of a savage and unprovoked attack by a rogue sidewalk crack. The perpetrator threw her hard to the ground, causing her to injure her ankle in the process. Luckily, the assailant did not continue its attack, so she suffered no further injuries. After treatment at urgent care, it was found that she had not suffered any broken bones in this vicious assault, only a severely sprained ankle. She has been on crutches and recuperating in the care of her family today.

Family and friends are asking that you help us in tracking down the foul villain that executed this hate crime. If you have any knowledge of this crime, please call the Baakay help line at 1-800-OOPS-DAMMIT. All tips will be kept confidential and your name will not be released.

Here is a police generated composite sketch of this heinous criminal:

And this is a re-enactment of the crime according to eyewitness reports:

We thank you in advance for your help in bringing this foul miscreant to justice!

(In all seriousness, she's sore and hurting, so I hope she gets well soon!)

Ahhh, kymaera even knows how to make injury fun.

I hope your aches and pains go away quickly, Kay! (Don't leave, ky...I wasn't talking to you!

) I'm sorry the sidewalk decided to strike when you weren't ready for it. Prop up your feet and have your family wait on you for awhile. That'll be a pleasant start for your recovery anyway!

That's what she gets for going out without her protective plastic bubble that is to keep her from being exposed to any germs before NDK this year.

In all seriousness , I'm glad that she only has minor (unless they happen to you) injures and wish her a speedy recovery.

Yipes! Kurotadori strikes again! I'm sorry to hear this and hope that your bruises and twists heal up as quickly as my wife's. You might try her trick of making yourself feel better real quickly: sell the house you're in and buy another about 250 miles away.

Meanwhile I brought an anime character to sneeze on you. That's supposed to be a quick and easy way of communicating the character's inherent superpowers so the next time this happens, you can just switch into henshin mode and fly gracefully over the crack.

Oops ... it's Karin from Tonde Buurin. Well ... at least the thought was a kind one.

Rest up and feel better soon!

Hey there...

You know, the Wunderkind told me something about not living this one down, last night just about the time I was running out of steam. My Dungeon of Anime (and dollz) is many things, but comfortably equipped for sitting with one's appendage propped up and iced is not one of those things.

So when I opened the mail this morning and found several nice messages about the post on Beta I was "huh? whaaa?" Thanks, all! Appendage is already a little less puffy this morning, though still very tender.

I love the composite sketch

And actually, you know... that animation isn't all that far from how it looked...

Here was my rendition of it, in a note to Aernath and Hobbywhelmed:

********
Guess who fell down went boom on her way to work this morning? I was quite literally just outside the door of the library when my toe caught in a sidewalk crack and down I went. It probably was what, five seconds total?? but it seemed longer.

Catch toe, lose balance.
"Uh oh, I hope I'm not going to fall."
body takes a few frantic flapping steps in an attempt to make the save.
"Not gonna happen, is it. Boy I hope I don't hit that kneecap."
face comes closer to ground... I toss the lunch bag to one side and the purse to the other and attempt to twist/roll...

I'm seriously weirded out by this, in retrospect, because all these things actually did go through my head, and I did consciously try to soften the blow, as it were, by landing on my hip/bewtocks. which is a nicely padded area. Skun my left knee and elbow and my hand just a bit, rolled and klunked the back of my head into the concrete, fortunately not even hard enough to produce an ow.

What was I most distressed about? My damn SKIRT flipped halfway up my body, exposing said large and well padded bewtocks (fortunantely, only to one person and she was a girl). So my immediate concern and injury was to my dignity, and the first thing I did was hastily flip that skirt down.

And then I stood up!

Ow.

**************
And then I continued with the saga of telling the urgent care people that I did not want to go through Worker's Comp red tape and would they please just LOG ME IN and get me an xray!! "Want me to pay up front? Here's my card!"

Aernath's wonderful response?

***************

Short trip to the concrete: Five seconds
Even shorter trip to indignity: Skirt flip
Using MasterCard to cut through the red tape: Priceless.

*****************

But Cloud... what's this about a sollid cat? O_o

Thank you, dear, that's very considerate of you

Glad to hear it's doing a little better.

I don't want to have to push you around in a stroller at NDK.
That's for the dolls.

A little late but looks like baakay's gotten better so...

But you still have to wipe her face when she drools or spits up on herself.

get well, baakay!

i thought the drooling only came over certain bishies or dolls.
