OUCH! I've been laid up for a dang week now on crutches.
So on the Fourth, some friends invited us to this party that is their 'once a year' blowout. They love the fourth, who can blame them.
Most of the day, the little bouncy house / water slide / and above ground pool were kid-zone. Late in the day, that trasitioned to Adult-Obstacle-Course!
First, you had to jump in the kiddie bouncy house that was transformed into the "shaving cream pit", slip out of it, run to the pool, get in while the other team was blasting you with water, find the greased watermelon, throw in a floating Hula Hoop, jump out, run over and make a successful bean-bag-toss in the hole, run up the water slide which was enormous, slide down, and tag your partner. 2 teams of about 15 people each.
Well, with all the greased watermelons I am surprised I was the only injury, but I jumped into that pool covered in shaving cream with a vengeance, and **** if I didn't smash the heck out of my right foot on the concrete bottom when I did.
As soon as I finished the course it started to creep in with the pain. Within about 5 minutes I couldn't walk! But, hey, our team won, what can you say about that, Team 1???
Anyway, so I have been on crutches since. Crutches are lame! Should be back to walking next week.
What say you? Anyone else been laid up for doing something dumb recently?
