She's a Freak of Nature but we Love Her So!

What are the chances that I, little ol' Nanci, would have 2 freak accidents within a years time? Probably not great you'd probably say. Well, I've got news for you.

I worked an extremely long night shift Wednesday night and was excited to get some sleep while my kids went to JoRae's house for a few hours. I tucked myself into bed around 9 am only to wake up to myself falling down in severe pain at 11:15 am. Yes, I was sleepwalking. I never knew I did this, maybe it was the first time. What I did know was that my foot hurt...BAD! I lied on the ground and bawled like a little baby for a few minutes, then talked myself into getting back into bed and going back to sleep. I lay there thinking, there's just NO WAY I broke my other foot. NO WAY! But the pain was severe (and I hadn't stopped crying) so I looked down at it and saw something like this:

Now, I know what you're thinking, "Damn girl, you need a pedicure!" But that's besides the point...

I picked up the phone and called my trusty friend JoRae to take me to instacare. I couldn't bring myself to call Jason for fear of what he would do (my broken foot last fall nearly put us both over the edge). She arranged for a babysitter for our kids and took me to instacare. We couldn't stop laughing about how this dang injury had happened. Then I got the coocoo-iest doctor they could find (at one point JoRae pretended to read a funny text b/c she couldn't hold the laughter in any longer). Come to find out it isn't broken (phew) but sprained. Dr's orders: R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compression, elevate) - and don't forget the "R" - he reminded me about 10 times!

It looks ugly and it hurts, but THANK GOODNESS it isn't broken!
