This past week has been interesting to say the least. Until Thursday evening happened, I had a blog partially written about Christmas and being stuck in Nashville for two extra days to get back to DC and there's no snow on the ground. Not a flake.
Then Thursday evening happened. I'll go into better detail later, but I fell down the stairs at work. This small fall, it was only about three stairs, has resulted in a severe sprain with possible ligament damage to my left ankle, which could require surgery, and a broken right ankle. Needless to say, I'm pretty immobile. The worst part is the fact that both ankles are hurting so I can't even put all of my weight on the "good" ankle to move around. The best part is I have an awesome friend/coworker, Meg, and fantastic roommates. Had it not been for Meg, I don't know what I would have done on Thursday. She woke up from a migraine to come to the hospital and completely take care of me. I needed it especially since I was in quite a bit of pain and had been given quite a bit of pain meds. My roommates are incredible. They've helped with everything and are being incredibly patient. I need to send a shout out to poor Byron, who had the task of going through my bras to find my sports bra, so I could change out of my work clothes. Sara's gone to the grocery store and fixed every meal for me so far. They've also completely taken over Rocky duties. They make sure he goes outside and gets fed. I'm so thankful I don't live by myself.
The year 2010 wasn't the greatest year for me. Don't get me wrong, some really positive things have happened. I have a new sister in law, whom I adore, and a gorgeous new niece. There have definitely been rough patches, too.
I'm hoping that 2011 will treat me a little better.
