From Ellen to Cedars Sinai

Attending a taping of the Ellen DeGeneres show has been on my list of things to do for a long while.  Every now and again, I would pop on her website to request tickets.  Oftentimes, I would see the 'no available' stamped on the month and dates I could even consider attending.  While I was home recovering, I decided to take another chance.  Low and behold! SCORE!!!  I selected a random date in October and two weeks later, I got a call from the show confirming my interest in attending a taping.

Mom and I sprang into action to book our flights to LA to meet up with my sister and attend a taping of The Ellen DeGeneres show.   I had already planned my outfit since we were going to a show in October.  Ellen is a big fundraiser for Breast Cancer awareness, so my 'big ta-tas' shirt was packed and ready to go.

Mom, my sister and I are all set to head out for breakfast and than the Ellen show.  The day started out awesome and full of laughter. 

So excited to be at the Ellen show!  Sportin my 'I heart my big ta-tas shirt'

 

Inside the studio awaiting to be seated. Oh! Halle Berry is the guest!

 We had a blast at the Ellen show, but decided to go to the Grove for shopping, dinner, and to catch the Giants play their World Series game.

And than...it happened....I fell off  the curb and heard a pop!  I was in the most pain I had ever experienced in my ENTIRE life!  So much so that I couldn't even cry.  On the ground, screaming in pain.  Lots of people came to my assistance.  I couldn't get up on my own, so.....
  

My ride to Cedars Sinai's ER is on the way

My ankle in its swollen glory!

annoyed that my ankle is 'fractured' and the LA weekend is DONE!!

Chillin on my sister's couch...in LA!

 Meanwhile, I went into panic mode because I had lots of things to figure out in a short period of time:

• Call my new boss to let her know I'm excited to start on the following Monday, but I'll be on crutches
• get a ride from the airport to drive me home in my car
• contact the airlines to get wheelchair service and change my seat
• figure out how to get to/from my new job

I get home safely thanks to a friend picking me up, my mom and best friend create a schedule to get me to/from work, and now...

  
Let the fun of hobbling around, begin.....
