Streak broken
Well my 23 year 11 month streak of not having a broken bone ever was broke last night. I was our delivering christmas cards and gifts. I was at Jake and Candis' house, they weren't home so I was walking back to my truck when I slipped on some ice. Not really sure why but when I fell I broke both bones in my right leg. It was the weirdest thing, I knew I broke it but it really wasn't this horrible fall. I just slipped and went down, retarted but whatever. Luckily, I had my phone in my pocket and not in the truck. I called Mat who was working at the other end of 5th West, told him to hurry and get me I couldn't move and was freezing laying in the snow. Poor Aubrey was strapped into her seat still she couldn't see me just hear me screaming for help hoping a neighbot would come out, not sure what I thought they could do haha. Then Jake pulled up just before Mat, poor guy comes home to me laying in his drive way screaming. Finally, Mat and Jake pulled me up out of the wet snow and got me into Candis' car so we could go to the hospital. Once we got there they cut my pants and gave me some morphine to help with the pain. Ahh finally got a little relief from the pain. X-rays confirmed that I was indeed broken. Dr. Scherer said it is broken in 3 places, and both the tibia and fibia are broke. He had me call Dr. Kloepper to have him look at my x-rays to determine if I need to have surgery or just get a cast. Currently I am impatiently waiting for a call back with his opinion. Hopping that a cast does the trick! So that is yesterday's run down. Hope everyone is having more fun getting ready for Christmas then me!=)
