of what kind of luck I have in this life. I took the dog out for a walk after dinner, got about 1/4 mile from the house, and stepped on a copperhead. The sole poisonous snake we have in these parts. Did I mention I was bare foot? So, I just got a shot of morphine while sitting in the er waiting to go upstairs for the night for observation. My right ankle is now twice the size of the left, the pain is going up the back of my knee and into my right testicle.
