Game plan
So now that I have all the pieces of the puzzle here is the story. Two weeks ago I was painting a vaulted ceiling on a 16 ft ladder. The ladder legs slipped out and came sliding down the wall and I came right behind it, I like to think of it as a new extreme sport call ladder surfing. The problem was that I landed on cement and my right foot landed on the ladder. Well I was taken to the ER via ambulance, covered in paint and disappointed that I ruined my favorite shorts. They stitched up my shin and took x rays, said there was no break and sent me on my way. Well over the last 2 weeks I have gotten a CT and MRI and that showed that I fractured my cuboid and one of my cuneiform bones and I also tore my Lisfranc ligament. So Monday I get to have surgery and they are going to pin the ligament back and leave me with a nasty scar on the top of my foot and on crutches for 8 weeks. Fun stuff. My last surgery I confessed my love for one of the doctors when I was waking up from anesthesia. Hopefully that happens again b/c there is nothing more attractive than a hospital hat and gown.

Sweet, a gnarly scar. Remember, guys dig scars right?
haha, okay, I get it now. Lets hope that the Doc professes his love back this time! ;)
Oh man. I love how I'm cracking up reading your story about injuring yourself and needing surgery. Nice storytelling!
hey look on the bright side, you will always have a great story to go along with the scare.
