Because life sucks and then you die. Get use to it and laugh at it. You can laugh or cry. I choose to laugh.

Thanks Jerry. After I left the hospital, I did laugh. And it's been two hours with no increase in the swelling so life is swell indeed. Could be the fact that I had no ice in the house so I used frozen veggies... peas and corn because I figured the green beans and carrots would be too bulky. I think the veggies have a healing power that ice just doesn't have.
