They're Still Not Listening, La La La
Note to self: Do not tell family members you're injured, because no matter how many times you tell them that you skipped 4.5+ ice times last weekend, that you rested all last week, and that you intend to rest all this week, all they will say is, "You're injured, you should rest."
HELLO! DID YOU LISTEN TO A SINGLE WORD I SAID?
Actually, yes. Two words, even. They heard "pulled something".
My aunt at least can tell you what I pulled (and then tell you based on her own experience years ago that I should be on crutches, even though I can walk, heck, run, without pain). My dad, on the other hand, knows only that I "pulled something". Why doesn't he know more? Because that phrase automatically triggered 50 variations (okay, slight exaggeration) of "you should rest".
*grumble*

I know, I know, they only do it 'cause they care, but it'd be nice if they weren't so good at selective hearing.
