So, dudes, when the radiant sun came out earlier today, I ventured out back, filled up my bird feeders, then decided to clean out the pool skimmers....  (Side Note: My Optic Neuritis in my Right Eye has been buggin' pretty harshly lately, but I related it due to recent possible holiday stress...)  Anywho, me, still in my pj's, lifted off the lid to first pool skimmer, bent down and lifted out the pool skimmer bucket to dump, and when I raised up, got quite lightheaded and ended up basically falling, my left leg, directly into the actual pool skimmer.....  When I came to, not able to walk, I crawled into the house, was able to strip off the soaked pj's and immediately called my beautiful hubbs .....  Of course he so lovingly rushed to my rescue!  We ended up at Texas Choice ER (By Popeyes off of West Lake Houston Parkway)...  Thankfully, they instantly gave me a Morphine shot and some Zofran for nausea....  And after all the X-Rays, I ended up breaking my left heel, several bones in the actual foot, but the worst is that I completely severed my pinky toe at the knuckle....  Half of the bone is literally off to the side....  I kid you all not....  The ER Physician sent me, after being there for about 3 hours or so, to the Ankle / Foot Specialist right down the road....  He too was unable to simply set the fractures or cast the foot due to the actual severed bone, and suggested immediate surgery....   I'm not one hundo on the surgical route as of yet, but I am finally home, with Norco prescription for pain, and my hubbs was able to swing by the In-Laws and borrow an extra scooter so that I can at least get to the potty by myself....  The boys are NOT at all happy with this contraption, but I will tell you dudes, that both Gunny and Willie never left my side.....   My wonderful hubbs is taking some vacation time off, so I'm in good hands, but this is not the way I had envisioned starting off the New Year....  There is a positive here, my friends: One being that my left knee is only sprained, strained and bruised - No fractures or serious damage there...  As well, as just like my hubbs mentioned (and was so grateful for) that when I got lightheaded and fell, thank God that I did not hit my head on the flagstone patio, as I very easily so could have....  I could have hit my head and fell in the pool, so it could have been so, so much worse, which I am currently reminding myself.....  My friends, your thoughts and prayers would be most appreciated.....  4951

@Jpgurl:
 
Those are some good ideas!
 
@herron1345. Wishing a speedy recovery to you. Did the doc give you a temporary handicapped tag for your car?

On a humorous note, dudes, I was just a yackin' to my hubbs (and everyone else in my path) after getting that Morphine shot...  I was straight Yackin' Yolanda, Chatty Cathy....  I had no idea it made peeps mad yacksters.....

@BBQguyMy hubbs is literally dying from the AMAZE-BALLS hilariousness right now, my wonderful friend!  To quote him exactly, "No ****ing way...  That's awesome!"                                                       Thank you very much, BBQ-home-dude, for the much needed smiles and laughter!

Dude, slick move, grace! Sounds like a few of us need to dig out the nurse's outfits and be on call for surgical assistance. 4951
