First accident of the year happened on our usually calm and safe Beer Pong Sunday. Jordi, the newest addition to the house was running downstairs in the dark to grab her camera to take some pictures, she was doing fine until on the final step she mis-stepped, and hit the stair at a bad angle, proceeded to fall at a worse angle and the next thign we know we hear screaming coming from the stairs. After we tried to determine the extent of the fall we decided it would be best to call an ambulance. Paramedics arrived and took her off to the Revelstoke hospital. We quickly followed in a cab as she asked us to come be there with her. Of course we made a good time out of it all, taking pictures and joking around to try and cheer her up, We got to the hospital and noticed quickly that it was nothing like an emergency room back home in Victoria where you could wait hours just to see a doctor even if you had broken bones. Here we went in and she was the only patient. The doctors threw a temporary tensor bandage cast on her and sent her home after an hour telling her to come back in the morning for an x-ray. The next morning I woke up, and came downstairs to Jordi sitting on the couch with a bright green cast propped up on the leg rest. Doctor says she chipped the front of her Tibia, minimum of two weeks in a cast and he’s consulting a doctor in Salmon Arm for another opinion for a true timeline. So Jordi has been dubbed Turbo, because she is the slowest person I have ever seen on crutches and so far I’ve had to piggy back her around town just so she can keep up.
