Curb Check Your Ankles, Kids

The blog post you have been awaiting for has arrived.

Hey lovelies,

It is currently Sunday as I am typing this and tomorrow will be the start of my fourth week of college.. CLAPS HANDS TOGETHER.

BOY, DO I HAVE SOME STORIES TO TELL YOU!

If you aren't following me on any social media, here is the top headlining news: I broke my ankle. How? Well, I simply stepped off a curb and my ankle went like the Titanic with an invisible ice berg. I sat on my road holding my ankle trying not to cry and these two guys came to my rescue to sit me down on the concrete.

I got asked if I needed an ambulance and I jumped to: NO. I will be fine. I can walk! I got to my feet and took one step and it hurt like heck and I fell back on the ground. At this point, the younger guy my age went to grab a police officer from the building we were by and this guy named Jerry stayed with me.

Thankfully, a police officer was riding around on a Segway and Jerry called for his attention and so now I was occupied by Jerry and this other officer who asked the same question: Do I need an ambulance?

I finally said yes and the officer made the call that he needs an ambulance to come get me. In this time I also texted my dad telling him about this.

The ambulance took a bit, and I forgot what was said in that time that passed but I laughed so much. I don't remember if it was because something funny happened or it was because it is trained in my brain to start laughing when I am in pain (thanks dad) but it was nice to be laughing at a time like this.

When the ambulance arrived, they looked at my ankle and decided that I needed to be taken to the hospital. THE HOSPITAL?!?!?! I was slowly regretting ever leaving my college seminar class.

Jerry with no last name known to me, if you miraculously see this, you are the real MVP. 

They placed me on a stretcher and put me into the ambulance and we were off.

I was still in shock and I cried finally out of embarrassment and there was very nice medical people I forgot their names- you'd think I'd know this with my love of Grey's Anatomy- but they distracted me by asking me all the important questions and reassured me that it is okay that I stepped off a curb and hurt my ankle.

When we arrived and got settled, my dad was there thank goodness. In summary of this part: I found out I fractured my ankle and needed to wear a splint until Tuesday to see an orthopedic.

That splint was an experience but honestly, this event as a whole is an experience. Second week of college and this happened! My overthinking was already kicking in telling me this would be the reason I fail college and everything will be ruined- I am okay now.

Anyways, Tuesday came and I get to wear a boot for five weeks!

In the mean time, I have a knee scooter and a electric scooter chair my dad rented out. *chef's kiss*

I feel like I need to make two separate blog posts for the rest of this.

I like to believe everything happens for a reason and this is only making me stronger and giving me more stories to tell.

Catch me skkrt skkrting around campus!
