Yesterday, we had plans to spend the day with my dad at the Young family reunion and later head to my best friends house for double birthday/pool party. Well, we were getting ready to leave and Shawn leaned in the garage entry door to the house to get Joseph; well, from here it gets kind of ugly. Suffice it to say, he and Joseph both went down. Shawn missed a step and rolled his ankle. He saved Joseph from any harm but his own ankle was not so lucky.
He was able to get up a few minutes later and then came in and iced it for about 10 minutes. Now, I TRIED to get him to go to the walk-in clinic to have it X-rayed to make sure it was not broke but he would not, WOULD NOT, go. So he sucked it up and hobbled around for the rest of the afternoon. Speaking of hobbled, remember the movie Misery? When Kathy Bates hobbles James Cahn and his ankles are all swollen, bruised, ugly and flat out gnarly? Well, that is what Shawn's left ankle looks like. Thank God it was not his right because it would have snapped the bone; the right ankle was reconstructed in 2003.
Saturday night about 9:30 we make to the ER. We made it home at 1:45 this morning and were in bed by 2:00 a.m. Tiresome for sure but we did have a good time while we were there. The waiting room was full and everyone was friendly and I was pretty much punchdrunk since I was so tired and cracking up most the night.
Today we are tired........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
