I was on the way out to my car after dropping of my neighbor girl to kindergarten. I just had untangled from the leash with my dog, and started to walk on the same sidewalk I went in on, on my way to my jeep, The dog was running on the ice,( i dont know if he thought he could beat me to the jeep or not) but I pulled back on him to slow down, and right about that time i fell, my legs just went all directions trying to catch my self, but then i found myself lying on my right leg with my foot twisted the opposite way it should have went, and suddenly i started to scream in pain and started to cry alittle, as i looked around to see if someone saw me, i saw all these cars in a line up dropping off their kids and just looking at me like, (oh she fell, oh well i see that every day) i dont need to help. They just dont want to get involved! thats all. Then i looked towards the school doors and someone was coming out and she asked me if i was ok, and i sad NO! I can't get up it hurts sooooo bad i think i broke my foot! she went in and told the office, Then all the office people came running out. they got a wheel chair and wheeled me into the office to see what to do and see how i was. In the mean while, my foot was swelling up on the ankle bone with my shoe on. They then gave me ice to lay it on, until i got taken home by a sweet neighbor and friend. She helped me alot that day. I layed around for two days and reading the scriptures and the book Christmas jars. Then by the time friday came i had gotten an appointment with the Dr. and found that it was in fact a break of the lower fibula bone, the bone that follows down next to the large main bone down to the ankle. it is fractured with a small separation down by the ankle. The Dr. sent me home with my exrays and a brace boot to my knee. I dont think I want to walk on the ice ever again. My next Dr. Appointment is next tues to a orthapedic sergen to give him the exrays and tell me what they need to do for me. I guess this is a good way to get out of ice skating, snow skiing, or anything that is dangerous to my health. I've never been the dare devil type anyway.
Oh by the way, Thank you for the meals those who have brought us scrumptious meals.

OH Cindy! How awful! I do hope you are doing okay, and if you need anything, let me know. I know I am a little further away, but I normally have my days free once the kids are in school... I can go shopping for you or with you... do dishes or laundry or anything like that you feel you need help with, just let me know! You probably need to stay off your ankle! I do hope it heals really fast for you! I feel so bad for you!!
ReplyDeleteHey Cindy, I hope you are doing okay. That's not a fun thing to happen and the ice is so hard right now. I wish it would all melt. Let me know if you need anything. Send your boys over to play with Zac and Reilly. I'm sure they would have fun and it would give you time to take a nap or something. Seriously. Call me, if I don't answer call Haley 687-3477 and she can get a hold of me. My phone does not work at one of my jobs. Please call, it would really help you, and they would have fun.
