Falling on hard times

Well, tonight I was going to tell you all about last week, but then something happened. I had my night all set up today. I had to go to my parents real quick to take out the dog, then I was going to go to the gym for an hour and then be back in time to watch the Cardinals play the Astros. I ended up watching the Cardinals game (they lost) from the hospital.

Backtracking...So after work I drove home to take out Birdie. Mom works 10-6 on Mondays and the poor dog is in her kennel all day long. So I put her leash on her, heads towards the garage and missed the step. My ankle wobbled back and forth and gave out and I crashed to the garage floor. I ended up laying in a heap of pain on the concrete trying to hold onto Birdie's leash because the garage door was open. After a while I was able to pull myself back up and go back into the house and call mom. My ankle had already swelled up to half its size and it looked like a I had a golf ball on my ankle (left side) right where the surgeon opened it up. When Dad got home we all went down to St. Lukes. Wasn't too busy, they wheeled me around in a wheelchair. Had X-Rays done and found out I broke my ankle. But, its not a bad break. I only have to wear a splint for a few weeks and won't need crutches. But, they are going to have me meet with my surgeon so an MRI can be done and they can make sure there is no tearing. So now I have a splint on my left leg that goes halfway up the shin and I am on Vicodin for the pain.

Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
