Don't watch if you're squeamish!

Since I've been in remission for about a year now, I've gotten to walking pretty good again. One of the things I've never been able to do is a cartwheel. I've been on the hunt for someone to teach me for a while but it seems that my friends aren't gymnastic buffs.

So one night a couple of friends are over and she tells me she knows how to cartwheel. We find some soft grass and we start with handstands, working our way to full on cartwheels. All three of us had been drinking, of course. Don't all the best ideas happen then?

My left is my weaker side, apparently it didn't listen to me like my right did and I think I landed on it somehow.

Long story short, spiral fracture of my tibia. Oops.

The lighting and sound suck, I actually think it's pretty good for how old my camera is!

Wow. I turned the volume way down because I expected screams. You are made of tougher stuff than me. I would still be screaming.
