Saturday, we were going to move everything out of our roomie's storage unit into our garage so we could go through everything and decide what to keep and what to get rid of. plus we are trying to save her $300/month in storage fees. We plan on putting up a large storage shed in the backyard to store the things she wants to keep. We got the truck and my DH was moving the fridge up the ramp. I was stabilizing the unit and our roomie was on the ramp behind me. She was wearing thongs and got her foot caught on the lip of the ramp and took a nosedive onto the concrete. What was she thinking wearing flip flops??? A true faceplant. She didn't even put out her arms to stop the fall. OY! She couldn't do anything but make horrible noises. After 5 minutes I called the paramedics because I had no idea how badly she was hurt. After they arrived she revived enough to decline an ambulance (I felt like a horses ass for calling them). She was able to get into the car and I took her to the ER. When she was taken back to her room, I left and went back to help my DH with the move. We work very well as a team if I follow his instructions. We got the unit cleaned out (7 trips with the van) just in time to go back to the ER and pick up our roomie. A broken nose, a split lip, a split eyebrow and two black knees. My DH has been helping her keep the pain under control with some stiff hot toddys and ice packs. For some reason the ER doc didn't give her any pain pills. GAD! What a day. To add insult to injury I kept hitting my knees on the trailer hitch so I was sore the next day with black and blue knees.
