DON'T LAUGH GUYS....I DID IT MYSELF!!



Well, at the urging of many of you, my fans, I have felt the pressure to update my blog!! Last Wednesday night I was at Young Women's and since the Sunday previous our ward was split, we decided to have a fun party!! Well, once again I was the entertainment for the evening!! (I gotta stop doing things like this!!) So, we were playing a game where you had to exchange seats it you have done something the person in the middle said. I got up to move to a seat close by me, but was beaten out by a sweet young thing!! So, I saw another seat close by and moved towards it, but again, was beaten to it!! So I turned around quick and saw a seat CLEAR across the room and headed for it!! Well, my ability to turn and run ain't what it used to be!! (Well, it never really was MUCH!!) As I turned, I could feel that I didn't have good footing to start off with, and soon felt I was going DOWN!! I remember my arms flailing around trying to get my balance, but to no avail!! Just as I got to the chair, DOWN I went!!!! I did a total face plant - with my nose hitting first, and was immediately in a pool of blood - that continued dripping and dripping some more!! I remember lying there and the room got real quiet, and finally some leaders were there helping to get the bleeding to stop. I laid there awhile, and I heard one of the leaders say, "We better call her DAD"!!!! I was alert enough to say, "No, please call Randy"!! So they called him and he came down and took me away to the Alta View Hospital ER. They took some X-Rays and said it was indeed broken - I can feel the bone almost out of my left nostril!! (TMI? Sorry!!) So they stitched the gash on my nose with 8 stitches and sent us on our way. So here are a couple lovely pictures for your viewing pleasure!! I do want you to know that I am a clean faller - nary a drop of blood got on my clothes!!!! Thanks to Randy & Jean for their help & support!!!!
