The Mangled Ankle and The Flying Car

Tree Hugger

So my little tree hugger here is a 3 on the pain scale for the next 10 minutes, and then apparently once the Ice cream is gone, she's back up to a 5 out of 10. Haha. We're getting her off of the hard drugs now, and she wants to try and go out of the house this weekend. We're thinking a movie or something. Jenny is in a lot of pain today, maybe because she decided to show some girls how to set a volleyball and heard a crack? And possibly because she was smacked in the chest with a volleyball as well? Hmmmm. This could be the reason!! Anyway, Jenn's still not driving cause of the pain, geeze the pain would kill. Jess is sitting up and stuff now, GOOD. I was getting kinda sick of her just laying there all day. And if I was getting sick of it, can you imagine how sick of it she is? I'm gonna try and upload some pics of Jess's leg and some nasty bruises all over her body, and Jenny's nasty bruises on her legs and stomache. Anyway, I will update again soon! Have a good night!

Hey Everyone! So as most of you probably already know, Jess got in a car accident thursday night (3/6) and had to have surgery on her ankle the same day. She was driving down the road from our house with her friend Jenny, and her steering wheel didn't catch and wouldn't turn, so she's about to go crashing into an embankment, so she jerked her steering wheel to the left hoping to correct the car. Instead her steering wheel decided to be touchy right then (she's been having issues with her steering since she got her car) and the car went flying off the road into some trees right off of someones driveway. The car was lodged in between two trees and the back of the car was suspended in the air about 12 feet up while the nose of the car was pointing down. Apparently the car was also on its side. (I never saw the car in the tree, I saw it after they had gotten it down. I was in redmond at the time) So this resulted in Jess breaking her ankle in 5 places, and Jenny fracturing her sternum! Both are doing okay, Jess is in a lot of pain. Jenny can't quite get comfortable because of her pain in her chest and they're both pretty bruised from the accident. Just wanted you all to know!
