Um, OUCH...

Status: Sore, bruised, chipped and tired. Stay out of my way!!!

So yesterday sucked. At about 7am I fell down the stairs. Don't worry, I didn't start at the top and roll down the entire stairs or anything, just the last two stairs. But I heard a distinct "crunch" as I came down on my left ankle and my right side is all banged up from catching myself afterwards.

Hubby is in New York, so I drove myself to urgent care (Thing One stayed home from school and watched the baby) and I had to get in a wheelchair and have xrays and it was all really embarrassing. But I couldn't walk on my left foot, and it hurt too bad to try and ignore.

Diagnosis? A sprained ankle and chipped bone in my foot. VERY exciting. I went home with crutches (you should have seen me in the parking lot with them, it was blizzarding) an air cast and a whopping prescription of Naproxen.

I am SO sore today, mostly from the impact, but those crutches give you a workout! The kids put everything on the basement level for me, so I can have the baby downstairs with me today and I won't have to carry him around anywhere. I can't.

I sat down at ten pm to write yesterday, and at 11:46 I had in my 1700 words for the day. My per-day goal is 1650, and I could have written more, but I had to stop myself because of the hour. I usually start writing at 8:45, after the kids are in bed.

Okay, the kids are fixing their own breakfast, and I'd better hobble up there. I smell something burning...
