You might have noticed that I didn't post much in June/beginning of July. June I can blame on work, as that's the busy season but the first two weeks of July I lived mainly on frozen pizza and greek yogurt. The reason for my less than exciting food habits was that I managed to sprain my ankle at a friend's wedding on literally the first day of summer vacation, thus finding myself on crutches and in an aircast. The following is a list of things I learned from my most recent accident.
1. My dance moves are killer. Especially when you throw Macklemore on the speakers. I have since "verbed" his name to describe what happened when I sprained two ligaments. He has not responded to this addition to the English language via twitter but my hopes are high.
2. You can cab to the hospital when your friends are still out partying at the wedding. At 6 am there will be nobody else in the emergency room in a small town and you get excellent service. Choosing an emergency contact was tricky as nobody had cell service in the aforementioned small town so I went with Mom.
3. Crutches are the new trendy accessory at the Calgary Stampede. Just tell everyone you were in the Rodeo and it was too muddy so your horse slipped. Man, it sucks to be out of the competition for the rest of the week.
4. I saved a lot on gas money while I couldn't drive. A big thank you goes out to everyone who made me supper and drove me around while I was injured.
5. Physio is really boring and expensive. But worth it so go.
I'm now back to 100% and catching up with some recipes I wanted to try. Hope everyone else is having a wonderful and safe summer!
