T9 party = T9 fracture

Toris 9th bday was fun until I broke my back. Picture this; we're at the roller rink I was planning on being a mom, on the sideline directing traffic but my new camera wont cooperate no matter what setting I put it on, I just cannot get good pictures of the skaters. I decided I would have to get out there if I wanted a good one and I thought I might help my littlest practice since she was no where near actual 'skating'. I did what any scrap'n mama would do and laced up.
I think I made it around about 9 times before both my feet went out in front of me and I essentially did a pile driver on my tail bone.
This resulted in;
immediate end of skating party
trip to ER
ex-rays, CAT Scans and MRI's
50% compression fracture of my T9 vertebrae
multiple other minor fractures of vertebrae
7 day hospital stay
predicted 6 weeks of bed rest

so yes, I write this from a horizontal position and no, I did not get any good pictures and my little still does not know how to skate properly.
