This time I was merely stepping off a curb in flat boots and next thing I knew, I was on the ground. My ankle twisted and popped and then there were tears. Some gentleman tried to pick me up and I yelled at him to stop. Sorry sir, but I just knew I needed a minute to let the shock sink in.
This marks the fourth time this has happened in this ankle. The first two times were from gymnastics. Twice now in a matter of a month, so I have an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon on Wednesday. Odds are I'm going to have to have surgery to tighten the ligaments. Awesome.
Other than the ankle incident, the trip was so much fun and I can't wait to recap all of our shenans for y'all tomorrow. I just wanted to check in and let y'all know I am alive, but injured. I have lots of fun pics; even one to prove that I am, in fact, rocking polygamist hair:

| Please excuse my unintentional "ombre" hair. It's been 11 months since my last highlight. |
p.s. You may have noticed there was no guest post from Jess on Friday. She had a little situation Thursday that I'll let her tell y'all about. I just hope she had as fabulous of a time in NYC as I did in NOLA.
Full NOLA recap post tomorrow! Time to catch up on all of your blogs. I feel so MIA.
Ahhh sorry about your ankle!
ReplyDeleteYour hair is cute! Very long. I need a hair cut badly because I just realized how long my hair is.
i still agree with my mom who said that we both need walkers or wheelchairs.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the hair, bee tee dub. i wish i could do that to mine.

ReplyDeleteYour hair looks beautiful:)
ReplyDeleteyour hair is amazeballs.... im VERY jealous!!
ReplyDeleteOk... next NOLA trip... wheelchair.
Your hair looks beyond gorgeous. I be jealous
ReplyDeleteI still cannot believe you did that to your foot. Poor thing. You are not allowed to go back to NOLA.
OMG, that looks SO painful! I hope your appointment with the ortho surgeon goes ok!
ReplyDeleteOn the plus side, your hair looks bomb! :)

Bless your heart - Nola and your ankle aren't made for each other!
ReplyDeleteYour hair is fabulous!! I can't wait for mine to get that long!
Love the hair! Sorry about your ankle...that sucks..:(
ReplyDeleteYour hair is unreal. I want it.
ReplyDeleteAND BLESS YOUR HEART girl! What the heck!?!?!?! Those roads there are ridic though. I still can't believe it though...how about you come to Austin and we can roll our ankles on 6th street together. Sound good? GOOD. It's a date.
so sorry about your ankle girl! I would have died. I am glad youare alive tho!
ReplyDeleteANd my gosh your hair is BEAUTIFUL! I want long lovely locks like that!
Surgery to tighten the ligaments?? :( Yikes! Your poor little ankle. Hope you're doing alright!!
ReplyDeleteYour hair is gorgeoussss... ombre/polygamist hair and all. I can't get over how long it is! And it looks so healthy! The curls are beautiful :)

ReplyDeleteoh no! so sorry about your ankle, that really stinks!
ReplyDeleteyour hair looks so gorgeous though. so that's a plus! :)
Oh My Word that looks painful! Hope it heals soon!!
ReplyDeleteagain?! you crazy thing. that surgery sounds like it's gonna be hell, so hopefully you got some good booze to get you through that.
ReplyDeletealso, no way is that your hair. it's gorgeous. i'm gonna come steal it in your sleep, kay?
I'm so sad for you and your ankle... :( It should know better. Have you tried going to a church that believes in miraculous healing? I mean, you think I'm kidding but I'm kinda not. Worth a shot?? I mean, if not surgery will always be waiting.
ReplyDeleteLet's trade hair.
UGH! Sorry about your ankle, I had the same problem, torn/sprained it one too many times and they went in and tightened it all up. I have not sprained it or torn anything since (knock on wood). So hopefully it goes the same way for you too!
ReplyDeleteOuch!!!!!! At least your hair looks amazing! :)
ReplyDeleteyour poor ankle! clearly it does not like you going to NOLA! and yes, i agree with everyone else that your hair is not.fair. it's sort of perfect..
ReplyDeleteOMGahhh it happened again child?!?! You's a hot mess! So sorry about this. Injuries suck!! But on the bright side, I think your hair is beautiful. I wish I had that much volume!
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness. I'm so sorry you hurted your ankle...definitely sounds like it's high time to get the to a doctor and get 'er fixed.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you feel better soon :)

ReplyDeleteHoly Shit! That's a nasty fall! I hope the bruising goes away fast! At least you were wearing flats and not heels, it would have been worse.
ReplyDeleteOk, seriously. I think you need to be banned from ever going back there!!
ReplyDeleteAnd your hair looks amazing!!
Oh dear, feel better!! Enter my giveaway--maybe you'll win the pretty bracelt!! :D http://blisstobean.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteOUCH!!! That looks painful! EEK! Poor thing! What are the chances? :(
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks gorgeous!!! I sometimes go a year between highlights too . . . that shit is EXPENSIVE! And boy do I hear you on the falling. Last fall I was in Napa (a whole lot of wine was involved) and I fell on a stone floor and CHIPPED MY FRONT TOOTH. This year in Napa I fell and scraped the hell out of my shin . . . def gonna scar. We're so graceful!!!
ReplyDelete(Crossing my fingers you miraculously won't need surgery!).
I feel your pain. I fall everywhere we go. I fell so hard a few years ago that I still have a hematoma on the side of my ass that looks like a hot dog. No lie.
ReplyDeletexoxo

ReplyDeleteOuch on your ankle. I see lots of foot/ankle injuries bc of work and they're not pretty and usually break/fracture again pretty easily.
