"Broken Ankle"
So, one afternoon, I let my cats out to play and, well, do their thing. I let them at it for a little bit and come back. One of them is missing and I'm already kinda getting worried. I hear a big commotion in the yard next to mine and decide to investigate. It seems the cat has gotten chased up into a tree by a pretty damn big dog, so I go to the house and ask if I could please get my cat out of the tree. My mother tags along. I climb up the tree. It was a pretty tall tree. The cat ( Pretty Boy ) was way up there, just out of reach. I use my jacket to scare him down far enough so i can grab him. That works out fine, and I take him down and hand him off to my mother. My jacket is still up there, so I climb back up to retrieve it. Just as I grab it, I lose my footing and fall. Two limbs decide that they want to catch me by the ankle, and I end up hanging about 10 feet off the ground swinging back and forth. The force of that was enough to break my ankle, so I'm already in pain and if that wasn't enough, I seem to have been too heavy for the limbs to handle and they break under the pressure. I fall the rest of the way, landing face up. It's okay now. My ankle has healed and Pretty Boy is safe and sound, but that was one hell of an afternoon.
