Hunky hubby found me in the field an hour ago near the house. I was able to avoid the first hole, but I heard two snaps and then I landed on my back. I sprained both ankles pretty badly.
Needless to say, Ow, ow ow ow and wow that smarts. I am thankful I lost 86 pounds or there’s no way they could have helped me to the house!
Thank you for a quarter of a million page hits in a little over a year! I am so excited.
Reporting from a flat position and typing with 2 fingers,

Ouchie!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry that happened! Speedy recovery to you.

thorngren says
So sorry to hear that!
Ice,Ice, and more Ice!
Glad you can still type though.
Barbara B says
See, if you would have stayed in the kitchen thinking up fabulous new recipes, you’d be ok.
I really am very sorry that happened to you.

Feel better soon! I’m glad the search party went out for you. From now on you be sure to have a cell phone on you at all times missy.
And if you heard some snapping, you may want to investigate a chiropractor. I had a nasty sprain once that just left a shooting pain weeks later. The doctor snapped it back into place, and all has been perfect ever since.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Cutie says
oh the things you do to garner attention my pookie! :p
here’s hoping you get all the “waiting on” you so richly deserve from the family! *HUGS*

You are all so sweet to me! My email and comments section has been literally overflowing with well-wishes to a klutz now wearing two ankle boots and carrying crutches around.
I am pleased to report that I had xrays today and am the owner of two healthy sprains. The left foot is swollen and grody, and the right foot has a high-ankle sprain (I’ve never had one before, so now I’ve collected the whole set!)
I am too fat for crutches, so I am thankful I’m still losing weight.
Of course, I’ll be hobbling into TOPS on Monday. On crutches. I think that will be hilarious! (But only if it doesn’t cause a weight gain)
Thank you erin, carol, willie (you are a love), Amy, sugarbush, Jennifer, mg, pepperette, vicki, laura, ew, jen, twisted cinderella, oh yeah babe, lora, 2big, thorngren, barbara, pat, avenuegirl, myboopiecutie, my friend in Toronto.
Thanks to you guys who emailed, and to T.J. who about made me fall off of the bed laughing. You are hilarious!!
Beacher says
Cleo –

Hope you get well soon… I’m sorry for your fell.
Priscilla says
Oh dear! How awful! And sprains take so long to heal.
Did they at least give you some nice drugs for your misery?
MargieAnne says
Now you’ve got no excuse not to spend time with us ‘cos you miss us. This will put a whole new twist on rice and where it fits the Low-Carber.
Seriously, take care of yourself and we’ll pray for speedy recovery. Crutches might be helpful but they’re such a pain.
PS rice stands for something like rest, ice, something and something

hey you got a built in excuse ofr any weight gain should that occur. you can claim it is all in your swollen ankles and when they go down so will the scales.
How is thew PT going? you enjoying the e-stim and the ice?
What do you mean you are too fat for cruthes? Just think of the great upper body workout you could be getting supporting your body weight on the crutches and moving around.
Desertthron says
Wow!! Thats horrid. Who put the holes there, I’m going to come and get them.
Also heard your weather is suckie. I don’t think I would like to be laid up in a tornado. Keep the mattress on top kiddo
Low Carb Adrenaline Junkie says
Ouch, What a way to go. Get well soon, think now you can spend hours typing in blog. LOL.
