Day 11- I’m Skipping and Day 12- Friday Questions!

I don’t have a very recent picture of myself so I am waiting until I do Christmas photos!

th_w6r0jk

1. What is the most physically painful thing that has ever happened to you?

Honestly I am not sure, Maybe the Time I broke My leg and Was in the ER?  (and part 3) although it didn’t really hurt until I tried to fix it, and then the hospital ride…


2. How much sleep do you get at night?

that depends… anywhere from 1 hour to nights like last night where I went to sleep at 7 and woke us still exhausted  at 5 this morning.


3. How long did you believe in Santa Claus? How did you find out that he does not exist?

What… What? Santa’s not real?? Nah I’m joking, I think it was when I found the presents marked from Santa in my dads closet, although, I do believe that a form of Santa exists in everyone who helps those less fortunate then themselves, so especially around Christmas time I am always donating money to salvation army Santa's and doing the angel tree, and stockings for kids, I even am nicer to the homeless guys who beg for money on the side of the road, I’ll give them food, and if they’re honest (once there was a sign that said homeless need $ for beer)  I’ll definitely give them money, I like honesty!


4. What was the last movie you saw in a theater?
Disney’s Princess and the frog and I loved it! The next one is going to be Tangled!


5. What do you wear to bed?

again it depends, I like frilly nightshirts, and old-fashioned ones, but I've been known to crash in anything from full clothes from the day (including socks but never shoes) to nothing, depending on how tired I was!

Responces To ER Post.

Wow I think that that was the most comments I have ever gotten on a post before! Thank you guys for making me feel loved!

If you would like to know what on earth I am talking about Part One and Part Two can be found at those links.
To answer your questions:

I was in a cast for a year and a quarter. so from 18 to a little after 19. Yes Captain it was pulled off of both bones, your ankle attaches to the leg bones and well mine wasn't anymore, no jutting bones or blood thank goodness, (I don't do blood I would have passed out on the floor.)

I had six surgeries and a year of rehab (until i was 20).

I have metal and plastic pins in the leg and ankle now, not a big issue unless it rains or I fly, but otherwise the leg is fine, I walk and work on it every day.

Thank you all so much for the concern, it makes me feel like part of the blogging family now, not just watching from outside! You all Rock!

ER part two

Captain because you seemed so sad here is part two!


So When I left you all I was in the Ambulance on the way to the hospital, which is actually only about 15 min from where I lived at the time, good right? Only their X-ray machine was out. So the EMC (i think that's what they are called... or maybe that's a DJ.... i don't know) called the other hospital forty min away to see if theirs was up, it was but the expressway was closed because of a bad car accident, so we took the long way, which is a dirt road... a dirt road people... my leg was hanging in air bouncing every second causing screams to erupt like mount Vesuvius.

On a lighter note, my cell phone didn't stop ringing until dreamy eyes finally answered it with a gruff "she'll call you back later" and turned it off... I had some explaining to do after that one. Eventually Dreamy eyes realised the dying cat sounds were coming from me and had his partner hold my leg, this didn't help much now along with every bump in the road I felt extra weight too.

We finally got to the hospital and into the ER I told Dreamy that I wanted pills, shots, IVS, Drugs of any shape and form. He laughed it off but when the other guy wheeling me slammed my leg in the door he agreed as soon as the doc checked me out.

I lay in the ER for a good 30-40 before being looked at a few more doors hit me and I said some words even I am ashamed to have passed my lips, and eventually it was decided that I broke my leg in three places and (here's the gross part) pulled the ankle off both bones completely. There were torn and ripped and pulled everything, but no one told me this because my parents had been waiting at the other hospital for me until they were told I had been moved and the Doc decided to not tell me a thing till they got there.

I got an ER cast and an appointment for a specialist for two weeks later. An ER cast is roughly some Plaster and some gauze, basically a VERY expensive splint. I went home lay on the couch and took the strong pills, only to awaken the next morning with a note from my parents saying they had left for their vacation at the beach with Air force and Jujube and that people would be by to feed me open the garage door when they came.

So for two weeks I sat on the couch with the ER cast and had lunch and dinner, no TV because even though it was right in front of me the remote was broken and the ER hadn't given me crutches.

So that is the ER story I can continue on with what happened if you all would like or not.

Have a good weekend!

Writer's Workshop: Tales From The ER

Well this is late and I am sorry Mama Kat because well it is really late but this is my story for your workshop today.

4.) List ten things you would say to ten different people in your life...if you had the hutzpah

and

Your trip to the ER...spill it.

First top ten things I will not put names here because well, that's just not nice.

1. Why are you still talking to him?? He scammed you out of $2,000 what does it take to learn a lesson?

2. Yes you are being a b**ch

3. I am your friend and as your friend I need you to leave now, so I can stay your friend.

4. Why did you marry him? he treats you like crud.

5. I think we need to talk...

6. if you run away and don't tell anyone where you are going one more time so help me....

7. church, church, church if you are such a church loving person why are you sleeping with three other people and why do you try to fore your ideals on me??

8. all that drinking is going to kill you one day.

9. Yes you smell like smoke, if you smoke a half of a pack in an enclosed area you will!

10. I am not your mother, so stop making me act like it!

Okay now that that is out of my system the ER trip.... this one might actually have to be in parts because well its a long story.

I was 18, I turned 18 the week before, I was working as a waitress at a deli for crappy money and even crappy tips, because people think that deli''s pay you more. They don't.

I had just gotten an assistant manager position at Ultra Tan, they were building one near me, I was supposed to start a week after I came back from my two week vacation to Myrtle each with my family. I was about to quit the restaurant. (see I was doing a lot of stuff)

When Prue and Piper called to ask if I wanted to go to Skyline, (I finally got to go this year!) I had always been to young to go before, so they would drop me off and go and tell me what a fun time I missed the next day.

I was ecstatic! I was going to Skyline! I told my parents I couldn't go to Choir practice because I was going out, but I knew my part and would sing on Sunday. I rushed into the bathroom to get ready as soon as they were out of the door.

Here's where the dramatic part comes in, We had the AC unit installed the week before, they installed it upside down or backward or something along those lines, the water was supposed to drain only the drain was running uphill and instead it leaked through the vent onto the tile in the bathroom. Airforce had tried to make the bathroom smell good by spraying Endust into it before they left, which kinda creaked a slick surface, I slid and flew and slammed my head on the back of the tub, knocking myself out for a few moments.

This would have been normal for me (I actually visited the ER a lot as a child I was very klutzy) but when I came to I wasn't in pain, I sat there for a few and took an inventory, neck okay, slight headache, arms and wrists fine, legs.... wow that one doesn't look right... lets move it and fix it... OWWW OWWW OWWWW NOT GOOD!!! Yes that was my though process. I should have called 911 I know. But I called Piper and Prue. they had already left so I called Cowboy Prue's then husband. He said he would try to get them. Then I called my parents ( I had my cell in my pants pocket thank god) they didn't answer so i called Kensei who was in TN, he called every Baptist Church he could find online until he got the one they were at and told them to come home.

When They got home my dad was positive I had sprained my ankle and told me to stand on it, while he was helping me up the agony shooting though me caused me to finally yell "Someone call freaking 911 already!!"

So they did.

The fire department came and then the ambulance and the ER guy with the most beautiful blue eyes I ever saw... could have been the pain... the collard and boarded me and off we went, but things actually got worse from there....

And this is becoming longer than I thought so I think that I will post the rest tomorrow!!
