A new pair of shoes???

Interesting new boot wouldn't you say?

Actually if my accident were videotaped it would probably make in America's Funnies Videos or whatever the name of that show is called. It was rather hilarious, painful but hilarious! Yesterday, June 14-Flag Day, I was working outside quite a bit of the day. I pressure washed the deck and it looks brand new! With all the rain we have been having sooner or later we have to empty what water gets into the jacuzzi. It has been empty since last November. There was about five gallons of water in the bottom so I was going to empty it out. I have pressure washed the inside of the cover and the inside of the jacuzzi. I had a 3 gallon bucket in my right hand and was just stepping inside the jacuzzi. I had my left foot on the top step and was leaning over to put my bucket down inside when all of the sudden my foot slipped and I was going headfirst down into the jacuzzi!

It happened so fast! I've cleaned that jacuzzi so many times and have never fallen or slipped until yesterday! Well they say that things comes in threes. I have now had three falls and hope that's it! I keep my balance very well. After the past month, now I'm not so sure! I was coming downstairs a month ago and my mind was a thousand miles away thinking of all I had to do that day and I completely missed the last step and was 'launched onto the floor! Splat!' No harm no injury! A week later I'm out on the deck outside and on my way off the steps to do a chore and I missed the last step! Ouch! That hurt! I landed on the top of my left foot and now have a quarter sized scar from the burn I got. It was like getting a carpet burn only from the step on the deck. Hmm. There seems to be a pattern here. My mind is in the stratosphere instead of 'on the ground!' Actually I came down from space 'onto' the ground! Then yesterday I was being careful and was taken by surprise when I went 'head first' down into the jacuzzi! I have to tell you that hurt! There's no water to break your fall. It's surprising how fast your mind clicks! I shot out my arms to break my fall. It's a wonder that I didn't crash on top of the bucket that was now at the bottom of the jacuzzi as well! My arms grabbed onto the sides of the seats where you sit in the jacuzzi. They smacked down hard. I vaguely remember my right foot smacking the top edge of the jacuzzi. See, it would have make a great funny video! My right forearm really hurt. Well I stood up to make sure all my limbs worked. Aside from them smarting quite a bit, everything worked! So it took me 10 minutes to clean out the jacuzzi.

When I got up to get out I realized how bad my right foot hurt. Then I looked down and saw this huge goose egg on the top of my foot above the ankle. I went in and showered and then had dad take me to Urgent Care. I was pretty sure I didn't break my foot but I wanted to be sure there was no fracture. They x-rayed it and I had a slight sprain and a badly bruised bone, a goose on the bone! I have to be on crutches for 4 days and then I should be okay.

Talk about feeling like a clutz!
