twister

Mom turned her ankle and fell yesterday. no panic, but her ankle is in sad shape. note: when living in the south of France, where folks (and pharmacies) take their siesta seriously, never injure yourself between noon and 2:30. funny pharmacy anecdote: me, in fairly decent french: "Excusez moi Madame, blah blah....I'm looking for something to help my mother, she fell and turned her ankle." Medicinal Madame: "Is it bad?" "Is it very fat?" Me: "Um, yes." (i'm thinking that 'fat' means 'swollen' in this usage, yes?) Medicinal Madame: "Is your mother very old?" Me: "No, she's just 'so-so' old." (imagine 'so-so' hand gesture included, it just came out that way, i swear!)
