He was posting to many long lenthy posts on Xlt. He fell up; yes up the stairs and broke his knee and ankle. If you look at his electronical establishment on the left of his leg. You will see that some some those boxes also have damage to them. Mr. EpicMegatrax was looking and thinking I’d those as he posted multiple multiple multiple multiple long lenthey posts in other people threads that have absolutely nothing to todo with the thread topic.
Fall up stairs and get crutches!
Hope you are okay Epic, if you need someone to make you soup and crackers or help you to the second floor to use the toilet. Let me know I’ll rush over and help ya bud!
Did you get stitches or just cool crutches?

unclear. i was on hold -- ironically, with another health care facility -- and i was kind of like fdghjkfgh u fuckin' sonofa and whipping around a bit. on hold, mind you, not to anyone.
...and something went pop. i audibly heard it. didn't kick anything, didn't stomp down hard. i think it's probably because i fell on the ice a few weeks back; i got that area a bit and it was probably on the edge for a while
i'm going to make a terrible old person. i'm a big charging oaf and patience is not my strong suit. i just randomly cut up my hands, bruise my shins in haste. my grandfather went out because he felt funny changing a tire and then promptly climbed up four flights of stairs to the apartment rather than, like, rest or ask for help. he also threw a flowerpot at the building super from the fourth floor window because the hot water was out

on that note. i put off going to the ER for almost two full days. because, oh, this is some wicked dank shit but oh the mix, no, no, it has more, it can be more
...and it was worth it, just irritated i couldn't hold out longer. because it still had more
so ~ SASS ~ i do work hard for this. but it still be more

i got crutches and an air cast, as pictured.
in these, actually something to at least cheer me up a bit:
1) i think the air cast is pretty dope. it a pump-pump mechanism like the 90's fad shoes. once i got home and did up my own rigging it felt ten times better. i appreciate the granularity, and, actually, the style
2) crutches, never really used them, but i actually find these fun. i will be good as shit at crutches by the end of the six weeks. i will be able to dance with them
crutches, tldr ~
crutches, never really used them, but i lie and say i have, and yes they're instructing me anyways. two successful crutchings, then a third and then there's stern admonishment "NEVER GO BACKWARDS"
and perhaps there's something deep in that -- don't regress, etc.
"sorry, toots," i thot to myself, "sometimes you just have to." namely, if i'd gone anywhere but forward, it was either into a sliding door or some esoteric hospital shit with lots of tangly wires

it's weird cause sometimes anomalies like foot pain, or other things out of your control in your setting can really contribute to the creative process. Not saying it's always for the best or anything, but it can change your mood or take you out of your specific neural grooves to try something new.
Doubt I'd try to make a tune with a migraine or testicular torsion or anything though, it's gotta be on the bearable spectrum.

suitably, the board just ate a TLDR post that included: the studio is on the third floor, i think might install renoise on my office computer
(hence pushing myself on getting that track as far as i could, back of my mind i knew it might be a few weeks and that's a lot of stairs
[tldr stairs: i have to sit down and lift myself up with my arms one stair at a time. and carry my crutches. before the crutches i just crawled. sometimes i still do; it can be more convenient in short bursts])

tldr ~ floor lyfe
it's funny, this reminds me of some trip i had in 2013 where i decided to just go everywhere in the house without standing for a while. it was because i spent some time crawling about the floor for quasi-legitimate reasons -- re-cabling stuff -- and i thought: it's so curious how the world has such a different feel if you commit to floor lyfe properly.
so i decided to just keep that up for a few hours. mostly just because it was interesting, but also because it required some ingenuity; physical effort. a mild challenge. however, i'm not insane; if the house had caught on fire i'd have given that up immediately and gotten myself to safety.
afterwards, i felt like i'd done a reasonably thorough study of the dynamics of floor lyfe, and didn't ever really bother again, except in small pockets, like building stuff in the workshop
but last couple days have really sent me back to that one

dancing, hmm. do i dance?
spent almost ten years moving about to music. perhaps with my eyes closed, even, so i can focus on, i dunno, kinetic mandalas.
however, not really paying attention to what i look like. started to a little, and it's a pretty even split between "wow some of this looks pretty dorky" and "wow that's actually pretty good" -- reviews from some company party did sort of mirror this. torn between sniggering and awe
end of the day, to do musics, you have to move somehow, right? unless you have some beta elon musk neuralink interface
so simply practice moving to music, is my advice. it'll lead to better music. it's a different thing than learning "moves" for parties

tldr ~ i'll get this point across one of these days. how many times have i tried?
the thread where i am trying to feel my way down from the attic to the basement along with the chimney, eyes closed, in the dark, for two hours. body put to sleep meditatively, focusing on... maintaining a gentle, steady pressure on the snake against surfaces, so as to not lose my state stack. working down... failing. failing again. but, gradually, building up a mental map of the unknown obstacles alongside the chimney stack in my head.
through sustained, focused effort, i have built up enough context data for my body map -- my proprioceptive map -- to connect to it in a functional way. in layman's terms, it has become an extension of my body.
so now i have my carved little acid nook where... i'm off doing a track, and a thought fires off, "i need to wind out the decay on the 303 here" and my body sorts it out as my other hand is carrying out some previous thought and before either are finished i'm thinking about what next
and i tell you, i will be good as shit at crutches in six weeks. so long as i don't get cocky and go too fast. to wit, i dipped a toe in the water of crutches on stairs; promptly decided that was at the very least intermediate, probably advanced. and not the first night
if you get into biking hard on music you're already doing it with your bike, most likely, the secret is to try and get a little more general about it.
[maybe that makes the point better? maybe? oh well i'm happy with my track(s)]

the foot is so much better after a day and a half with the air cast. i hope someone made a lot of money from patents off of this; the design is beautiful.
not running marathons; my cardio is sitting down and lifting myself up one stair at a time. wearing cans and starting to feel comfy enough to genuinely dick about with the crutches, was practicing fumbling and recovering etc
i have a lot of tldr thots about crutches on stairs. today i went up two (2) stairs to see how it'd go, and whoa, weird. let's stop and analyze the data. i've analyzed it, but tldr
do i like afx? i've never met him; can't say. his music is quite good. i first heard his music when someone uploaded isopropanol to my ratio ftp server in 2000. i'm not sure he was being serious when he said he used a rave-o-lotion 909 in an interview. and vintage behringer guitar pedals

my body wants to tear down the street at a full run, but my foot is broken. i can see my leg(s) losing tone. my arms are getting interesting at least
but mostly, this is dhfgkjdf it takes so long to do anything. i haven't showered in days because it's dangerous. i have a bathtub but i have to clean it. i have to plan trips downstairs. if i wake up really having to pee, it takes me five minutes to get to the toilet
it's feeling better already, though, i can put a little weight on it to at least balance myself sometimes
on the flipside, parts of my other leg are complaining, and i was having fun with the crutches yesterday, but i need to develop conditioning before i can even go full bore on everything being annoying and taking forever
my left foot is broken. my ankle is fine. i smell

the one thing that's utterly doing my head in is the crutches repeatedly falling over and it a) scares the crap out of me b) does random damage to a property i am renting c) dkfghbjfgkh you fucking piece of shit cunt
i'm going to sort out some straps so i can hook them to things more easily.
on the plus side -- lewis wasn't talking to me for a bit again, but, strangely, he just started texting me again and he's broken his pinky.
i essentially broke... not my pinky toe, but the foot equivalent of what connects your pinky to your wrist, through the back of your hand etc.

i mean, it's not plus side that lewis broke his pinky; merely that it showed up again. but when i say we have kind of a dr. gonzo and raoul duke thing going on, he's just broken his pinky as i've broken my pinky toe and this is when he decides to start texting again.

You don’t really need to stab someone or hurt someone else or yourself more, srry. It’s okay hou haven’t bathed in days. It’s not like your getting a huge sweat or stank being around the house. I’m guessing you can work from home or are taking a bit of time off?
Just shower or. Bath here in the next few days when you can safely do it. It may hurt to move and such so be safe my Friend.
If it’s just your pinky toe, I take it there’s no cast or splint? Just be careful and keep the area clean and make sure infection doesn’t get in. Hell if there’s no cast just dip that bad boy into the tub

that i have gone from an average of four miles walkies, hour or two on my gym machines and some indian clubs, to, like, dfkjgkjdlfgjhkdf i can't even finish this sentence; stab
am i stab because of withdrawal from exercise, or because exercise is nature's cure for stab? the answer is: yes

it is actually driving me to... this isn't what i'd recommend most people do:
first time i've taken the crutches outdoors: today. i did a bit under a mile total, going to the liquor store and back, because i was out of zigs and goon. i actually could have lived with that, but no exercise too? HURRRRDFHGJgdfg fuck it i'm going
that i am arguing with myself: is this dumb? that i give myself license to bail if i'm seriously dragging before i'm even to the store.
i put on the ~blade techno opener~ because that sort of ten-minute, methodically unfolding structure was about right for an arduous physical journey with crutches. it was a good choice
way back -- i'm starting to get that feeling on crutches i get going down hills on foot, sometimes -- like i'm allowing momentum to be slightly out of control, because i'm up on a loop of continuous inertia; simply by charging forward on the crutches hard i actually gain more balance
my muscles are holding out, but i keep having to stop to catch my breath. this is perfect. i'm not screwing the fuck out of my arms and here is my missing cardio
...and my abs. when i got really going, wow does crutching murder your abs. in a good way
tldr: it'd be incredibly stupid for most people to crutch 0.9mi five days after breaking their foot, but i have marked this ticket WFM

but, yeah. your likely impressions of me, going to back when, said, "this guy is a lump that sits in front of his computer all day" and this was actually true until my late 20s. then something in my metabolism changed, i was gaining more weight without doing much different, and fuck you.
so i started walking every day. then, really, in a way it all makes sense -- i remember my mom ganking my ghettoblaster when i was 7 because she was keen on being an aerobics instructor and she needed to put some tapes together.
my mom was gym every day until 30 years, and she's still whining the doctors won't let her go back just yet. sister bought a vizsla dog because she wanted one that could run with her properly. kind a breath of relief from my family, when it finally bit me. like, oh, there it goes. finally

thx. that's a bit over a mile, and it'd be cold by time i got it back home.
mostly, though -- with the air cast, my foot is feeling well enough that i can hobble about the house without crutches; go up stairs without sitting. and, thank christ, because this exponentially reduces the hassles of basics, like, feeding myself and going for a poop
