Yesterday I managed to hurt myself and embarrass myself pretty good. I was walking back to my chu from the chow hall with a to-go plate when I saw my next door neighbor, SGT McPhearson. I wasn't feeling particularly social so I quickened my steps to hopefully gain ground on him and totally avoid a conversation by beating him to our rooms. Which I did. But in the process of simultaneously stepping up onto my porch, putting the key into my door and balancing a food tray, I managed to fall.
My "bad" left ankle rolled out from under me and I landed hard on my butt. My butt skidded across the mud scraper. My weapon jammed up into my arm pit. My ankle twisted into an unnatural position. But! I did not drop my to-go plate so my food stayed safe! I'm a fat kid at heart and nothing gets in the way of me eating!
Of course, SGT McPhearson had come around the corner just in time to see me take my plunge. My roommate and other neighbor heard the earth shaking thud of my body slamming into the metal stairs and came out of their rooms to see what had happened. How embarrassing. Especially when you get the facts.
It was a flight of 2 stairs. And I fell. Wow. Falling down said 2 stairs sustained these battle injuries to my thigh:
For a bruise so ugly I wish I had a better story. Moral of the story is, perhaps I should learn to like to be more social.
So how is your ankle?
ReplyDeleteInstead of "bad" ankle I should have called it "trick" ankle. It just causes issues and never really any physical pain... it just causes emotional baggage.
ReplyDeletePain or no pain, that sucks that your ankle is playing games with you. It needs to woman up and stop all this foolishness! There are many cute girly shoes that probably need wearing when you get back. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG yes! Combat boots just aren't doing it for me anymore! I want cute strappy sandals!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I keep forgetting to send you this website. I heart it! Granted most of the shoes are super strange.
