Laughing through the Pain
So yesterday at work the following happened:
Moe (thinking in my head): OMG it's finally sunny...I'm going to frolic in my garden.
Walk out to the Visitors Center with wooden garden cart and a smile on my face.
Start working on planters
Moe (again in my head): Damn I need to do the deck pots too
Take the elevator to the seldom used top level of parking deck
Moe: The sun is so bright. I'm loving this.
Work on first planter Start walking to next planter, pulling the large wooden garden cart behind me.
Sees puddle of water, walks to the left of said puddle, slips on black ice, falls backwards on to the handle/edge of large wooden garden cart...lands on concrete
Moe: #$!@ Lays on the ground
Moe (back in my head): Damn i've fallen and can't get up
Painfully reaches to grab radio to call security
Moe: Hey Robert or anyone on security i've had an accident and need help
Robert: I'll be right there
Moe: Shit
Security comes running up the stairs meanwhile shouting
Robert: Moe! Moe! What happened??? (Proceeds to slip on same unseen patch of ice and lands on top of my limp body)
Moe: That! Cue tears and hysterical laughing.
One ambulance ride to the emergency room where they cut me out of my clothes comment on the level of dirt on said clothes give me a pass because I work outside in a garden invade my personal space place me in a neck brace take some xrays and drug me to sleep later.....a knot and bruising on my back but no broken bones. In the end I have to admit that I kept laughing the whole time...through the tears and the probing. All I could think was...this is like Grey's Anatomy!! Oh and also how my three-day weekend was shot because I am on bed rest....in the words of Sweet Brown "Ain't nobody got time for that! "
Until next post.......laters
