Bruised and broken


Ok, so Saturday started out being an awesome day! We got up and went to Park City, got our passes and rushed out to the lift. It was the first time of the season and we were stoked! Well, the first run of the day, Jon caught an edge and crashed HARD. All I could think was please get up. He landed right on his head and shoulder. Well, his head was fine, but his shoulder didn't come out so lucky. He was in a lot of pain, but we took a few more runs and called it a day. In the locker room, his shoulder was already starting to swell bad. All we could think of was Alaska. For part of the interview, he has to do a physical test and do 25 pushups. For a not broken Jon this is an easy task, but with an injured shoulder, not so easy.
He went to the physical therapist yesterday who concluded that it was separated, but had gone back into place on its own. He is optimistic that Jon will still be able to go to Alaska in January, but in the mean time it means lots of therapy and taking it easy.
Also, on Saturday night, I was at work. We were super busy and I was literally running all night long. I had just picked up a tray of dirty plates from a table and was stopping by the computer to print out a check when I felt my feet go out from under me. There was nothing I could do. It was just like in the movies when all of a sudden there is a big crash and the whole restaurant goes silent. I was mortified! Luckily, I was behind a counter and not a lot of people saw, but they all heard. Needless to say, I have some pretty gnarly bruises on my elbow, hip, and knees. What starting out being an awesome day turned out being very painful.
So we are just taking it easy around here. Oh, yesterday we went to IKEA and got a $10 rug and an entertainment center for half off...gotta love the as-is section. It's looking like we might have a living room after all. No more walking in on Jon's friends sitting on my bed. I'm pretty excited!
