I almost made it 44 and a half years without a broken bone. On
Friday I broke that streak. I went out
with a few buddies, it was snowing when I left, I stepped out the bar, walked
down the ramp and landed on my hands and knees, after the quick look around to
make sure no one was looking I got up, well I tried to get up thank goodness
for the ramp rail and the garbage can right there, I was able to prop myself
up, swear to myself and trek off to my car.
With each and every step the pain intensified, I thought I sprained it,
so I was thinking buck up bucky and off to the car, I brushed it off started it
up and went on my way. When I got home
out of the car up the back deck and off to my favorite chair. The family wanted to see the ankle I was
complaining about my son said I have never seen that color before. Wrapped it with ace, watched some tv then
went to bed, up the stairs with every painful step. I tried to sleep but was up every 20 minutes
or so with a throbbing leg, up Saturday morning, thank goodness the walk in is
open at 6. X-rayed then fit with an
aircast and sent home to rest. Just so
you know it hurts like hell and I am horrible with crutches. Plus how are you supposed to shower and sleep
with this thing on?
