Oops! I Broke It x3
Many of you know and others don't so I figured this was the best way to get the news out to the most people. Maaaan! I broke myself. For those of you that know me, this does not come as a surprise in any way, shape or form. So here is the story:
I was having an excellent Sunday. 
could have come up with a better day if he tried. So I decide to turn in early and I have made the basement my new camp site as my room is "under construction." So I head down the stairs and low and behold the last four steps just seemed to disappear. While I was gliding ever so gracefully to the floor below all I could think of was, "No, no. Not now, I have so much to get done." At that point my feet me the ground and my right foot breaks in three places and I sprain both of my ankles. Needless to say I was in some serious pain. I crawled up the steps army style, because I am a "G" and I am not going to be stuck like chuck. I get to the top of the stairs and yell for my dad. He comes running down and realizes that I have seriously injured myself and will have to call 911. Which would have been cool since I was going to be in an ambulance 
for the first time, and I wouldn't be dead, but I was in pain so it wasn't so cool. I then had to make two very important calls 1.) my boss and 2.) my mom. Once I handled my business I sat on the floor shaking like I was having convulsions. Did you ever notice that the room gets super cold when you get hurt? And doesn't it seem like when you need help it takes forever for it to get to you? So I am laying on the floor cracking jokes to pass the time. So the paramedics get there, dope me up and haul me off to hospital, where I met some of the dumbest medical professionals on earth. After the X-ray tech attempted to compound my fracture they tell me I may need surgery, but then they decide that since I can't stand on my other sprained ankle, that wasn't even given an ace bandage for support, they are going to send me to another hospital. FINE!! Just give me more of your watered down drugs and get me out of here. So my nice EMT friends return and take me to the other hospital. They missed me, that is why they came back. LOL. Anyway I get to the new hospital, they cast me and dope me up
and then I am too drugged up to walk and they threaten to send me to a nursing home. I mean really! So I finally sober up, walk on a walker and get out of there. Our medical system sucks. Now after complaining, crying and some serious bruising due to a cast that was ill fitted I now have the Air Jordan of leg casts. It even pumps up like those old school sneakers.
I am still on heavy drugs and my boss is trying not to pay me. Such is life. I think I need a vacation.

What a great blog. I am so proud of how you are handling a tough situation. You are a strong person with a lot of tenacity. When life knocks you down, you get up, brush yourself off and keep stepping. Well, maybe not stepping literally for the next few weeks anyway! LOL But we can always sing songs whether they are appropriate or not! LOL
Ouch mama! I hope you feel better man. That sucks! I'll send Juicy there to gnaw on your cheeks if it'll make things better!
damn ms broken. And on top of all that the drugs were watered down? Well, take the time off to be lazy as hell, bosses can be crappy like that. Trust me, I'm one of 'em. :)
If you want me to, I'll come sign the cast. Oh wait it's not that kind of cast is it?
I tried kid. Take it easy and i hope you're feeling better soon.
oh wow damn you did it. That sucks. Is the break in the fibula or down in a tarsal or metatarsal? If I was there you know I'd fix you. I'll be calling you. ttyl
