ER visit Yesterday...

So yesterday when i was watching my shows.. I always get a drink and put it on the ground right next to the couch.. So i got off the couch.. And stepped on the glass that i was drinking out of.. I don't know how i broke the glass.. Maybe cuz i'm SOOO STRONG or FAT!! I'm leaning towards the strong... But this is what the cup looked like after i stepped on it.. (well After i set up the cup)


I had to walk to the phone to call LeeAnn to see if she could take me.. I'm not sure what i said to her but was freaking out!! And after i called her i told Madden to get me a towel.. And he got me the biggest towel and the whitest towel... What a big helper he is.. i got blood on the carpet and on my pants.. (i have to tell everyone that i can wear a size 6 now!!! Yay me..) I did call Joel after LeeAnn.. I feel bad now.. but i can't change who i called first...
after i calmed down a little more.. I thought i would go our neighbors right next to us to see if one of them could take me to the ER and then have LeeAnn watch the boys.. as I'm walking to our neighbors and to the car I'm bleeding like a lot.. I made sure i grabbed my wallet and check book.. After i looked at the insurance card.. I told EmberDee to go to the Insta Care.. An ER visit copay is $100!! And insta care visit is $40!! When we got the Insta Care it took them about 1hour and about 10 minutes before i got seen.. Then the DOC fixed me all up.. I got 4 stitches and HAD to get a tetanus SHOT!! The numbing shot hurt soooo sooo soo BAD.. i almost said a swear word.. Man that would have been really embarrassing.. I was wearing a long sleeve shirt so i had to take an arm out of my sleeve.. So the nurse now knows what religion i am.. hahaha.. Thanks EmberDee and LeeAnn for helping me in an emergency..
This is what my foot looks like now..
Without the sock..What's under the bandage..
I have to say something else.. I can't wear sandals.. I have to wear socks.. so if i want to wear sandals i have to wear socks.. So please don't look at me crazy cuz i have one sandal on my left foot and a sock on with a sandal on the right foot.. I'm glad that i get my stitches out before my friends wedding.. I'm a brides maid and i have to wear flip flops.. oh man.. This was one crazy adventure.. Now i hobble around.. And i can't put any pressure on my foot..
So the lesson that I've learned is not to put a GLASS cup on the ground.. Cuz someone could step on it and GET sent to the ER or INSTA CARE!!
Lesson LEARNED!!

Woww, well I haven't even tried to go back onto my blog ever since I created it back in JULY!! haha, anyways, ouch!! Your foot looks like it was painful. Stepping on a glass cup, not to good of a idea now, is it? hehe, i'm so glad your foot was ok though :) [[and I have NO IDEA how to add you to my blog and stuff, help?? thanks!]] I LOVE YOU!

That was quite an afternoon, huh? :) I'm glad the worst of that is over, and that you're on your way to getting your foot back (and hopefully soon will be able to wear sandals barefoot too!).
