Halloween Mishap breaks more than the souls of death ...(True Story)

4:30 pm and we start getting dressed to take Austin out trick or treating. Hes in his Elephant Constume, and rearing to gogogo, Pinkbunny is all set in her ghost and me in black jeans and boots, with a bloody chestplate and a cape, and a skull mask. My heart in my hand that when i squeezr it, blood pumps through the chestplate making an eerie effect. .. so we load Austin in the stroller and take off down the street, make a turn onto our first street for trick or treating. We head to the different houses, zig-zaging back and forth across the street from house to house. We get to the last house on the right, before we have to turn and go left, and Bunny is pushing the stroller, and im to her right, all is dark, and we turn into the drive. .. unfortunataly it was too dark, and i didnt see the slanted curb, and stepped on it hard, not knowing it was there, and I broke my foot. The right side of my left foot hurt instantly. I knew something was wrong, and bad. I continued upto the house anyways, and collected the candy. And half way down the driveway I looked at Pinkbunny and told her" i broke my foot". She giggled thinking it was funny, when i spoke up and said "NO, I mean I really broke my foot." She was a little surprised, and asked what I wanted to do. I told her what i wanted to do, was not walk the 3 to 4 blocks back to the house. :P She left me with AJ and the stroller, and I started my hobbling and hoping down the sidewalk behind her as she was going for the car.

Pain, omg it sucked, here I am wearing Black combat boots, and i can feel my boot getting tighter and tighter. was NOT cool. I met her down the street a ways, where i took of my costume and we headed for the emergency room.

I was dropped off by pink at the ER entrance, and I hopped in, looking at the lady when she tured around " Trick or Treat I broke my foot." i said to her. LOL she smiled and had me sit down.

It was a short wait and i was in the back before long. cracking jokes and being my normal self. Even though i had to correct 2 nurses and a doctor that kept saying *Ankle* when it was my foot.

After the x-ray the doc finally came in and said "its broke" ( i already knew that...lol) and said he was gonna do a splint. (half cast. Cast put on lower part of leg and foot, then wrapped to be held in place by an ace bandage.

So i signed the realse and was told to stay off it for a few days and keep it elevated. And to follow up with my doctor tomorrow. ( I had an appointment tomorrow with my Doctor, FOR MY OTHER FOOT that i cut) LMBO So when i go in tomorrow, and i am asked about my foot, i will hold them both up and ask where they wanna start.

I am going to get a referral to a orthopedic surgeon for this, cause it may be worse than the vet antisipated (the vet = the ER doc...lol)

So i have my cast on and they foit me with crutches, give me a slip for some pain stuff and give me a sticker and a small beachball as we all laugh as I swing with the rythym of my crutches and the squaeak from them on the floor.

So I just got home, about 15 minutes ago. I sit here with my leg up on the back part of my desk that is a footrest anyways, so now its the home of my poor foot for a few days.. and I decided to enter this best Halloween story competition, to see if maybe the Halloween Gods will shine a Halloween smile on me yet, even after my foot was broken.

So thats it in a nutshell, pink still laughs, and so do i, but it hurts and sucks.

Thanks all for reading, and Happy Halloween.
