River Fun

What up?

I've been trying to stay away from home as much as possible lately. I'm avoiding being around Asshole. If I'm not here then he can't bother me, right?

My daughter and I went to Vancouver, WA Saturday afternoon to visit my friend, Paula. They had plans to go to the river the following day with a group of people and allowed us to come along too. Paula and her husband have two wave runners. Paula also brought Tequila and she and I hurt ourselves a little. We were both going too fast over the wakes and wrecked at separate times. We ended up at the Urgency Care clinic that night getting her foot X-rayed and since I was there, I had them do mine too. She broke a bone in her foot and I broke my toe. We decided not to bring Tequila next time.

This is a list of my alcohol related injuries over the years:

• I fell down attic stairs and broke my left foot

• I went white water rafting on the McKenzie river and the guys I was with knocked me over the side trying to "save the beer" and I snapped my right leg between two rocks breaking the bone just above my ankle.

• My friend tried to run down a flight of 12 concrete steps while having a hold of my arm making me trip on the second one and tumble down the rest causing a dent and nerve damage along my right shin.

• I tried to walk down a bark dust covered embankment in high heels and a mini skirt, bucked my ankle and broke my left foot AGAIN.

• And now I have a broken toe and swollen foot from this latest wave runner incident.

I did, however, have a great time. I try my best to have fun and I'd do it all again so I'm sure this won't be my last injury. So, if you're coming partying with me, please be sure to take the necessary precautions.
