Silly girl.

Heal fast and let me know if you need anything. :)



Lisa, you're the first one I told, after my mother.

Ahahaha, I just now saw your text asking if you can start a vibes thread. Sorry, I wasn't near my cell, after my final text to you.

I guess my whine thread beat you to it, baby girl. Love you! Muah!

Well when ya kick as much ass as you do, it's going to break eventually. ;) What happened?



Ugh, I was taking a canopy course last Sunday the 17th, and I had a bad landing. I was eventually taken to the ER. I requested Lisa to take me, which she did. (I wanted a friend w/ me.)

They initially told me that they didn't think that I had a break based on the X-rays. (I knew something was really wrong, though.) They couldn't guarantee that it wasn't broken, though. The part of my foot that might be broken could only be seen via MRI (mid & forefoot), so they said to see a specialist.

I was wrapped up and a fiberglass splint was placed on my foot/leg. Then, I had to work earlier in the week, but I went to an Ortho. Surgeon on Thursday the 21st. We noticed that I could not move/flex it at all. There was absolutely no movement, so he initially thought that perhaps my Tibialis Anterior tendon was totally ruptured. He recommended an MRI, of course. I finally got some pain meds, too. I basically had nothing, but one ibuprofren for the first 4 days, which was useless for pain.

I received the MRI at the end of last week. We had the long-fricken weekend. I did notice that I could move it a tiny bit, after 1 week (on Sunday), so I thought I was in the clear. I made an appnt. to see the Ortho this week, but they had another doctor, podiatric specialist in reconstructive ankle/foot surgery call me to make an appointment, instead. I kind-of knew something was up at that moment. :DB|

I finally saw that doctor today. I'm still having a 2nd MRI done w/ my cast to double check my mid & forefoot, as well. With the MRi that he did have, he showed me two breaks as well as contusions/sprains, and we placed a cast on me. Voila.

Painful process...this has been. At least, my little cast is cute. It's a pretty shade of baby blue. Plus, I've given Lisa some funny memories of my ER antics.

Lisa, I wish you had been there when I was joking around with the docs in the ER. We kept calling me a hobbit. Too funny! :)

I saw that landing and think your lucky it wasnt worse. See being 87 lbs has its good points! I would have broken every bone from the waist down!! :D

Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone!

I like to start my day off with a little Ray of Soulshine™!!

I can't wait to sign your cast. ;):)



YAY! That's why I got baby blue, instead of black this time. The black one was cute, too, but you really can't sign that thing. Plus, they want to give me another one in 3 weeks because they say this one will be too big (stretch) in that amount of time.

The great news is that this is a walking cast, too. See, it's not so bad, after all!
