'Twas the night before....

I shall begin with ..... 
'Twas the
night before surgery, and all through my thoughts was "holy mother of pearl"! Look at my ankle! It's a such a freakin' mess!
There is no words to describe my surprise, horror and fear! Then I quickly thought to myself.... I didn't even get that damn cold beer! I was stone cold Sober. 
As I ponder my thoughts and of course with great fear.... What if I am stuck like this for more than a year! 

Ok, with all rhyming aside, I couldn't sleep because my son and his friend were playing video games and no matter how much I asked them to turn it down it didn't work..... So, I decided to embrace the sleepless night and got lost in Pinterest. Yes, from 12am-4:30am I spent pinning things on Pinterest. Little did I realize that my whole world was going to be rocked!

How did you do it?

Why YES, I get asked this a lot. I just haven't come up with a good awesome daredevil story. The truth is my friend and I were walking into a bar and I tripped and fell. In the picture the blue circle represents where I broke my lt ankle and sprained my right.
I can clearly remember hearing and feeling of the break. I was in a state of shock when I called my husband to pick me up because there was no way I was going to leave a bar in an ambulance! By the way did I mention that we were walking into the bar? Which means I did this totally SOBER! 
This is me still in shock and on pain meds. 
After several X-rays and having to have my bone reset in place. I got my awesome splint! 
Here is an awesome selfie with my amazing husband.
