I have no problem flying.....my landings just suck!

I am a klutz. What do they say, the first part of fixing a problem is acknowledging you have one? So, I have one! LOL

I was a cheerleader in high school and college and ran track. You would think doing these things I would have some level of coordination. But, nope!

This year my friends and I were planning to go out and live it up on my birthday. The week before is a good friends birthday so we head out to it and to kick off my birthday week!! When we get there we are pleased to see so many of our friends out. My girl and I hadn't been out with this group of friends in a while so we decided to live it up.

The night started with one of our favorite drink slingers giving us free shots. I had two. Mind you this isn't enough to even give me a buzz. So, I order my usual and chill at a table watching people dance.

My good friend (partner in crime) whom I shall call Beats starts razzing me. "Remember a few days ago when you were doing that adorable dance to Jump on It?"

Mmmhmmmm I sure do. I am in a great mood so I say let's go see if he has it and we will do that dance in the middle of the dance floor. Liven things up a bit.

Mind you, the bar is packed!! You can't go to the back of the dance floor because it is wall to wall people. You could go in front of the dance floor but that would mean having to walk on this low rise stage in front of everyone. I am looking pretty fly so I decide we cut across the stage.

We make our way over there and ask Mr. DJ if he has Jump On It. He doesn't. I was actually bummed about not being able to make a fool out of myself. Until.....

We head back to our table and decide once again to cut across the little stage. Up I go..I trot across and right then a light flashes right in my eye from the dance floor. I am blind. I step out and apparently had ran out of stage. Down I go.

I remember looking up and seeing some dude on the other side of the dance floor looking at me trying to decide if I am drunk or not and if I needed help. I quickly gather my hits and go to stand up. At first I feel nothing. I then look to my girl and am worried. Her eyes are as big as sand dollars and she is pale. I think she is just amazed at how much of a klutz I am. I step down on my right foot. The pain that shot through my leg was intense.

I have a little medical training in my background. I should have had this situation figured out....yeah, not so much. I suddenly become very very dizzy and the volume in the room slowly fades away. I watch as lights began to flicker and fade....my girl is saying something but I can't hear. My first thought..."Dammit...I feel off a stage and someone spiked my drink?!" Ummm yeah, no one spiked the drinks....Wendy....meet Shock! LOL

I lay back down on the stage and wait for the room to stop spinning or me to pass out which ever will happen first. I finally feel a bit better. Someone was a nurse there.....she came to look at it and freaked out and said go to the ER now. That is never a good thing to tell someone who just about fainted!!!

Oh and did I mention my pride? Yeah...I felt a fool already. So when someone says they are going to carry me out I flip a lid! I am going to walk out of there if it kills me. I bite into my lower lip and head for the door. I am not sure who this hurt more. Everyone was watching and turning green. Later I am told my ankle kind of crunched with every step. Once outside of the bar I scream.....and then cry.

We jet off to the ER. Surprisingly for a Saturday night......there weren't many people there. They took one look at it and sent me back.

I had on the cutest little black skirt, black halter. I could care less about who has seen my underwear at this point. However, as I am laying there waiting to hear what they saw in my X-ray , my friend tells me the janitor is across the hall gawking up my skirt. Really?? I am in pain freak!

I broke it and tore tendons and muscle. I had cast and crutches. And.....no birthday party! :(

I can't go anywhere now without being told to be careful. And when someone plans a party they make sure there is nothing for me to step up on and then maybe fall off of. I even get told to be careful when I go down the stairs in my house!!
