broken

today, i fell. i got up from my desk chair while my desk drawer was open. i forgot my desk drawer was open. i tripped. i was wearing sucky shoes. i went down on my ankle. it looked disgusting. my foot was one way and my leg was the other. i instantly knew it was broken. it was the worst physical pain ever. worse than labor. seriously. i laid writhing on the floor. my boss and another lady in our office came running out to see why i was crying out and saying "ow" over and over. my boss ended up calling 911 for an ambulance cause i was in so much pain and needed to be careful moving it. the ambulance had to call for pain control to come because i was in shock from the pain and my ankle was clearly deformed. on the ambulance i got morphine. it actually worked this time. they had to give me 10 of morphine. the max dosage. they took xrays, and found a fracture in my fibia down by my ankle. they splinted it, and tomorrow i will get a cast. the pain is terrible. vicodin isn't working. why don't they send you home with morphine!? just kidding....sort of.


totally sucks. i was supposed to see jason upton tonight at my church's One Thing conference. I was looking forward to it since last year i missed it and had to watch online. this year, looks like it will be the same. i was supposed to shop all day saturday too for the supplies to make my decor for the playroom. that's a bust too. what a sucky day. now, i'm broken.

Crap. Not that it's in any way the same- but the first time I went out with Paul I broke my ankle. It was really bad and painful, so I can relate to the physical pain and the annoyance of not being able to do what you want. Hope it heals fast.
