Happy Holidays to me...

[bamboomedia]

Well, I was on my way to run errands with my boyfriend on Sunday and slipped in the parking lot on some ice and now I have a broken foot. It is fractured in two places and I have a plaster cast that I must wear for 2 weeks till I see the Orthopedic Dr. and he determines if I need surgery. My knees are scraped to shit and bruised black. My upper body and back are totally sore from the fall. I can barely move. I won't be able to make it down to the testing center at school this week to take my final for my online class. Hopefully my teacher can at least give me an incomplete. As far as work is concerned I will be out for at least 6 weeks unless they can give me a walking cast. If I have a walking cast I might be able to wait tables. I haven't put the Christmas tree up and I probably won't. I haven't done any Christmas shopping and I don't think I can physically nor do I have any money now. All I can do is sit on the couch and watch movies. This happens to be my favorite thing to do but it can get old after a while (not to mention that it is uncomfortable to sit for hours at a time!) I love the internet but my foot isn't elevated in this chair and it is starting to throb. I suppose I should begin my painful journey back to the couch/prison of hell.

Oh, did I mention that sleep is not physically possible. Every time I am about to fall asleep my body decides to participate in an involuntary twitch. This usually consists of me bashing my foot on the couch or moving it in a direction that is really painful resulting in me crying out in pain. Needless to say sleep has been eluding my boyfriend and I for a couple nights now.

Well - Happy Holidays.
