Oh how I wish I had a super cool story to go with this. nope.... I was loading stuff into the truck and slipped on some ice. As I gracefully tried to catch myself (my arms were full) all of my weight came straight down on an already off balance twisted ankle. I've rolled my ankle before, but in very slow motion I knew this was different, I could feel the tearing as I went down. Any of you girls remember those contractions that you have right before you get an epidural, that hurt so bad you want to throw-up? This pain was about level with that, but it was a constant throbbing. We drove all the way home (this happened in Bear Lake) Brian totally believed I just rolled it and I was being a wimp. Brian watched me painfully hop into the house (it wouldn't tolerate any weight) ....he finally offered to take me to the insta-care. Good news, no break. Bad news I tore 2 if not 3 of the tendons in my ankle. The doc happened to be a sports medicine specialist and said if I rehab it with physical therapy I should be able to avoid surgery. So here I am on bed rest going a little crazy. With the boot and crutches I can make it to the kitchen etc. Stairs are out of the question at the moment. Being immobile was NOT on my things to do list this week!Wednesday, March 25, 2009
Gettin' the BOOT!

I am so sad for you! I am sorry! I hope it feels better soon! oh and the eyelash extensions are 2 for the price of one set! So you and another person can get them for the price of one! :)

Oh, I am so sorry! At least it is not bright and sunny outside though - you are just missing crummy weather. Get better soon:)
BIG BUMMER!!!!
That's so unfortunate, and totally something I would do. I'm so sorry. Hopefully you can get some good quality rest from your busy life and play the injured card a little bit:)
Anything to get out of a move-- right? Just joking. I feel so bad for you- That must have hurt so much.
