Yes, some pancakes and a side of bacon with a cold glass of milk would have been good. Instead I chose to go with the kids and do something a little more physical that day.
Should have gone with the pancakes. LOL!

I am going to share this 15 second embarrassing video. Wish I would have been doing something really cool when this happened, but all I was doing was getting ready to do another back flip when...
 Yes, the fat lady blew out a knee!
 Tore my ACL and meniscus and injured my lateral ligaments.
When this happened it felt like my knee and leg twisted in two completely different directions.
I was in a lot of pain but I didn't know how bad it was, so I stayed and just watched everyone until it was time to go. As I watched my kids play a game of dodgeball my knee throbbed!
This intense game then turned into a wrestling match. So worth sticking around to watch. Maybe I Should Have Gone To IHOP Instead Of ijump   I went home and slipped on a skirt so that I could go to the emergency room The skirt made it easier to look at the damage I had done. :)
When I was checking in at the emergency desk the lady asked where I was when I did this. I accidentally said IHOP and she laughed because she knew I meant ijump. That's when I told her, maybe I should have gone to IHOP.
They put me in a brace and on crutches. Maybe I Should Have Gone To IHOP Instead Of ijump
