Not our month

So if you know me you know that I am super clumsy! We have a parking pad in the back of our house where we can park both of our cars. On either side of the concrete there are wooden pieces that are somewhat curved. I trip over these pieces all the time while putting the kids in the car. It was no different on Monday as I was rushing to get the kids in the car to get Turner to the pediatrician so we could have his lip looked at. I turned around to walk back around the van and rolled my foot on this curved piece. I tried to catch myself, which just made it worse and after walking on my curved foot for a few steps and twisting my knee I landed square on the knee and tore my favorite pair of jeans. I rolled over on my back and realized that I was in the middle of the alley and my stay at home father neighbor had witnessed the whole thing. He asked if I was ok, and I mustered up a thumbs up and wobbled to the car. I have a black and blue ankle and knee and they are both really swollen. I have a lot of shooting pain up my foot, but I got an xray done and nothing is broken. I definitely have a lot of pulled muscles, and in a week or so if they are still bothering me I have to see a specialist because I may have torn something... fun fun! Needless to say March is not my month, between the vertigo and now a sprained ankle and knee! I am hoping April goes better for us!

Ok, so kill me, but I laughed out loud at you giving the thumbs up to the dude, lol.

And just think - March is almost over! April is just around the corner!

Has the vertigo gotten any better? And of course it was the stay at home dad who had to see it all- sorry! That is embarrassing. I hope all of your muscled heal quickly.

I meant muscles- not muscled!

Aw, I hope you feel better soon! There are few things more irritating than being constantly dizzy and having a hurt knee & ankle!
