What an exciting day! Rode in the ambulance today....
OMG What a DAY! It was one of those days where you keep saying that you should have called in sick and stayed in bed! I was dropping everything, bumping into things, and being unusually clumsy. Which for me is MAJOR! lol So I made it through the day at work, got all my tools off the boat, & cleaned up. Then I noticed I had a voicemail and I needed to take something to our trouble desk on the boat. So I ran and grabbed the box and took it up there. Got everything squared away so it would be ready for work tomorrow morning. As I was leaving the office I went down 2 or 3 stairs where my foot found this little dip in the ground. Go figure. LOL Down I went with a pop and everyone around went OHHHHH. I swear it sounded like a TV show audience! lol I am SO glad that I work somewhere that camera's & video camera's are not allowed so it wont end up on youtube or america's funniest video's! :p I was SO embarrassed I just wanted to get out of there. Some guys helped me up and I hobbled off the boat to get back to the hang out. Got my stuff and then hobbled UP the stairs to my bosses office. I was thinking oh I will just go and tell him that I will be taking the day off tomorrow. Yeah RIGHT! By the time I made it to his office I was in SO much pain & it was swollen to the size of a soft ball! He made tons of calls and it was a HUGE ordeal and the paramedics came, fire truck came. Everyone was there. They took me to the ER and x rays show that it isn't broken but I have to go back in 10 days to take more to make sure the swelling isn't hiding a hairline fracture. I get a week off work to start and have to follow up with my normal dr as well as an orthopedic surgeon! :dizzy: They wrapped me up with tons of stuff and gave me crutches. So the funny part of this is that I was joking with the EMT lady in the ambulance and told her that at least my toes were done! LOL I also noticed while I was in the ER waiting to be wrapped that my very swollen ankle looked a LOT like what my ankles USED to look like before losing the weight and just HOW much smaller my other ankle was. I asked my husband if I had lost all 27LBs from my ankle! LMAO :D oh here is the picture of it after being wrapped! https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net..._7134146_n.jpg |
:hug::hug: wowww you sure took a spill! ive done that to my ankles too a couple times and wow does it hurt! glad they took xrays and stuff...hope there's no fracture! take care of yourself :hug:

Wow! Glad you are back home and hope you heal fast!
A. |
Oh my goodness!!! :hug: I wish you a speedy recovery!

What an embarassing and painful ordeal! I hope your ankle gets better soon. I hope it's not a fracture. I manage to do something like that to my ankle every 6 mos or so. :) Thank goodness my natural off-balance-ness is starting to correct itself with all the pilates I do! I used to fall all the time!
P.S.- You have got the CUTEST stubby little toes EVER!!!! :D |
Thank you all :) I am really having difficulty sleeping as even with the percocet, muscle relaxer, and anti inflammatory meds I am still in a lot of pain. :( I am pretty bummed because I was supposed to go to the gym today with my bestie. Hopefully this doesnt set me back to much. Any suggestions on what I can do to keep from gaining weight back? However I have realized just how lucky I was because at the time of my spill I had been carrying a small box with metal materials that I was going to be welding on to the boat. I could have easily impaled myself with some of the stuff. Thankfully the box went flying! :D |
WOW!! That's a pretty horrible day! I am so sorry!! But I like that you noticed the difference in your ankles LOL!!
I hope everything works out well for you!! :hug: |
Oh, so sorry about your leg! On the bright side, your toes do look nice. I need to re-do mine.

My husband teased me that this was not the best way to compare before and afters on my ankles! LOL :D He is such a kidder. I just couldn't get over the difference! Quote:
Thanks! Me & My bestie had just gotten pedicures when we took my daughter out shopping for her 13th Birthday! Had this happened just 2 weeks ago.... :o LOL It sure was a nice treat! I am SO glad I had it done! :D |
I giggled at your "sounded like a TV show audience." :lol: I'm glad you had such a sense of humor about it, but OUCH! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Glad you are okay :] I love how you manage to be positive, I would have still been down on myself xD You seem to have an optimistic outlook on things :D
|
Ouchie! I turned my ankle while walking backwards talking to my girls a few weeks ago! Fell on my butt, but luckily I didn't do any real damage to my ankle, just my pride!
|
Woa....you did take quite a fall! I hope your foot heals fast :hug:
