Thanks to Alex's doctor kit:
email to my dad:
dear dad,
i decided i should give you something to laugh/ shake your head about at work.well, its POURING rain outside and the streets are literally flooded over the sidewalk. In the street the water comes mid/high shin and on the side walk it is still multiple inches above my ankles. needless to say you can't actually see the ground. So I was just walking home and silly me thought it would be logical and safe to walk on the sidewalk. oooops I fell into an open man hole like thing with half my body, substantially scraping my right leg. people falling in manholes happens in the movies...THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO ACTUALLY HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE!!! Well, I'm now all bandaged up and i'll survive. but if i hadn't won it already i've now officially won the award for being the most ridiculously accident prone.
-love you dear daughter <3>And Desiree has written me my eulogy already: "Amanda- the girl with red hair, always had a break sprain or tear. From her shoulder to manhole, her body took the toll and now she is laying in the coffin there." -- perfect.
my track record, starting in December:
- dislocated shoulder #1
- IT band decided to rub against the bone in my knee -->10 weeks physical therapy
- shoulder dislocation #2
- shoulder dislocation #3
- got my toe stepped on so bad I lost my toe nail
- shoulder dislocation #4
- bashed my face in 4 wheeling:
- resulting in: huge goose egg, two black eyes, and swolen (almost broken) nose
- shoulder dislocation #5
- FINALLY shoulder surgery
....relatively injury free summer, could have been because I was in a sling, but oh yeah I was stung by a bee. Thailand's been good to me so far, I should have known better than to expect these 5 injury free weeks here to last too much longer. All that's left to do at this point is laugh about it.
