Subject: I am no longer a fan of Friday the 13th...another pity party

So after I put my good news post up...I headed out on a wog.  Did my 30 minutes and was going to get back inside.  It might have been 30 degrees...but I'm guessing the dogs were ready to get back inside.  Only to find out that the key I put in my glove pocket to unlock the house had fallen out along the way.  I retraced my route with no luck.  DT and I were planning on doing lunch, so he just came home and let me in... Then I have the idea to take advantage of the defrosted roof and clean off the moss that the new insurance company is wanting...I didn't want to do this without someone else around.  Since DT is nursing an almost stress fracture, I didn't want him getting up on the roof... Because one typical way of entry on the roof was completely frozen, we chose the alternative.  Go from the back deck - attached to the 2nd floor - to the roof.  Only a story up.  As I was stepping up on the roof, the ladder lost it's footing.  (DT was getting ready to hand the brooms to me and wasn't holding the end of the ladder...) It slid down and I rode it as it fell.  It hit a table that was against the house...and now that is permanently bent.  Somehow my ankle got caught up and it bent with against one of the rungs.  My god was that scary...my god did that hurt.  I about fainted a few times - while lying on the ground...DT got the path cleared, grabbed his crutches (that he just stopped using) and we headed to the ER.  Did I mention that hurt?!?!  Got to the ER and it was a slow time...noon on a Friday...got the X-Rays taken.  No break...very severe sprain.

Wrap Up

(1) Yesterday sucked

(2) I am lucky-ish...

(3) Remember ladder safety

(4) Crutches suck

Pity party invitations will be e-vites sent soon...

ETA:  I didn't see hubby's post...healing vibes would be appreciated...

That is so scary - I'm glad you are mostly OK.   My FIL fell off a ladder up in a tree and was in the trauma unit for a few days.

I just checked the calendar - there are 2 more Friday the 13ths this year - I suggest you get a few good books and stay inside! 

Feel better soon!

Sounds very painful. Now who is going to walk the dogs  if you are both on crutches?!

Glad you didn't break anything!

I actually just got off crutches on Wednesday. But I'm still in a boot for another 3 weeks. But it'll be a few weeks before I'm walking the dogs...

I think you owe Lisa a foot massage and pedicure for putting her in that hazardous situation.

They may have to resort to this.

DT did NOT put me in this situation.  I volunteered, nay, insisted he not get up on the roof.  He knows better than to tell me I can't do something...

what a bad person you are for not letting him be the man and take the roof!

 

I like to fuel the fire of relationship fights
