So it started as a great day. My husband, the kids and his parents & I all went to "the Dock" for brunch (a nice seafood/grill restaurant on the water). We split 2 pitchers of hawaiian margaritas, long talks about everything and a beautiful sunny day. Then we decide to take the boat for a little ride (kids have never been). It was a great ride, but mom and I ran out of wine coolers (Jay only got us one 4 pack... What was he thinking!!???) So we get the guys to drive us back to the boat dock so we can pick up another pack. Well since we had only planned on brunch I didn't wear appropriate boating clothes..I had on my favorite 3-inch heel boots. So we get to the dock and mom leaps from the boat, and I automatically assume I can make the jump too, no problem. WRONG. Boot gets caught in the dock and I immediatly go down (not in the water, thankfully) So I take off my shoe and see this nice grapefriut growing in my ankle. Mom wants to call EMS, I say no way in hell. Jay carries me to the car, go to hospital, and we find out 4 hrs later I have a tib/fib break. Some tri-osseous thing too. And of course it's not some clean break, the posterior is out of whack so I get to have surgery to fix it. You know what else? IT FREAKING HURTS!!! My "10 rate" of pain is labor and this puppy is at an 8.
The only good thing I can say about it is Dilaudid is yummy :)

I swear anytime in my life I've gotten hurt or had an accident I was on the boat or at the beach. I'm ready to give it up :angry:

So I hope everybody else had a good day today! :P
 
:( I hope you feel better! At least you didn't hurt your face, that's always my biggest fear when I fall "no, not the face!"
 
Wow! Sorry to hear that!

I guess dancing on the bar with me in Jacksonville in a month is out then :-(

Wait...save some of that Dilaudid and a wine cooler and "Come ON!!!"
 
OWWWW!!!!
 
Goodness Gracious Wingnut - I thought I was clumsy!

Feel better soon. btw - I know those 3" heels - deadly, but look awesome! Anything for fashion. LOL
 
LMAO!!! Thanks for the well wishes everyone. The dilaudid wore off & I'm on good ole Lortab...actually I hate this stuff...my poor tummy is in as bad a shape as my leg now :(

Never the face...I was thinking I'd rather have fallen in the water, but then I'd probably have hit my face on the side of the dock, and that would have been a real problem lol.

Princess, count me in, a few broken bones can't stop me from a good time. I'll bring the boots too lol. I love those shoes, they do look awesome, I'll just have to remember no leaping or jumping when I can wear them again.

The funniest part about this is I'm in my brothers wedding on May 7th, and medic school starts May 9th. At least I don't have to buy shoes for the wedding, but how the hell am I going to do ride time with a cast?? Lmao, this is going to be an interesting month.

Please don't mind the long posts, it's the drugs, I can't shut up :(
 
:o Wow! I hope everything works out.

My saying is if you're gonna do it, do it good. And you did it good. :lol:
 
Sorry to hear that, broken bones are rough, and pain isn't all that great either.

I've never had a kid, but I hear it's no worse than a bad headache, so I can only assume your pain is pretty bad :lol: ;) <_<

Feel better, and get some rest!
 
Thanks all, went to the surgeon today and finally saw my X-rays, And like Phridae said, I did it right. Surgery is scheduled for Friday, but they're trying to get me in Wednesday. I just want it done an over with. *cries* cross your fingers for me & hope I get it wednesday!
