Picture This …
Ryan, remember the coke in the face story? Well, this is me sitting on the ground yesterday after I hit a pot hole and twisted my ankle. I had a mug full of diet coke and the lid flew off and all the diet coke went into my own face just before I did a full body slam face first into the stickers. For your information, after the lid came off my mug I made a hole in one with one of the girls. You will note my first thought was to have Dad take a picture of it all for my blog. Well, not quite “all”. He offered to take a “mug shot” of my spectacular bruise today but I think not. The rest of my body isn’t quite used to doing a triple gainer into the stickers either and today I am moving so slow I decided to take a sick day and lounge in my pj’s. And then, according to the Allsop way of looking at misfortune … I began to chuckle.


I ‘m sorry but I chuckled at your misfortune too! I’m glad it was not any worse. If you are like me you probably went down trying to save the diet coke! Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Goodness! I hope you recover soon!
Well, if you’re going to fall, best make it spectacular!
Hope you heal up fast!
I like that you captured the picture for your blog. I hope your ankle is back to normal fast so you can enjoy the kites this weekend.
I just did the same thing a couple of months ago. I jammed my left thumb and twisted my right ankle. My ankle recovered quickly, but my thumb still hurts! Darn those sneaky holes!
Way to go to save your coke! Hope Lynn bought you another one to cheer you up! Phil laughs at my cheater cokes where I put about a inch of Cherry coke on top cause I’m still transistioning over to diet!
Your vanity was probably hurt worse. I fell flat on my face leaving a theater about a week after my first chemo. My nose was bleeding and I was so embarrassed and to add to my misery I had a bad case of diarrhea hit me as well and had to be wheelchaired to the ladies room. I probably know how you felt. Glad you still have your humor intact.
“A hole in one with one of the girls” you say? Which one left or right? That is quite a trick in it’s self. Course I have seen the size of your mug …. that could leave a good sized bruise alrighty Glad you are alright!.
Oh man! Way to give all those old folks a show! I hope you are feeling better. Do you think you could reenact your hole in one when I come back?
A hole in one can’t be reenacted … it is a once in a life time fete and I can honestly tell you that once is enough. The old girl has a purple shiner that is a shame to have to hide.
