My most embarrassing moment ever!!!!

Want to know the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me??

Well here you go it's a long, awkward story so grab a coffee, get comfy and let's have a little laugh at my misfortune. 

So six years ago I broke my leg (my tibia and fibula) now how did I do this you ask???

Wearing reasonably high-heeled shoes, I never wear high heels but, this was a special occasion. My partner had a big promotion at work and he was invited to join a fancy dinner and afterparty. Now, this was a very fancy occasion so I needed to look nice. I went out and brought a really cute black dress with tights, however, flat shoes would not be appropriate so I borrowed a pair of high heels from a friend. I wish I didn't because they hurt like hell, but I didn't let anybody know this. 

I looked lovely, my hair was good, my make-up was on point, and I felt the most confident I'd ever felt. After one or two proseccos beforehand we were ready to go, needless to say, my anxiety was through the roof, I had nervous butterflies, my face was sweating, my heart was racing but I sucked it up and we were off. Arriving was okay, everybody was polite, complimented how I looked, brought me one or two drinks and we sat down for dinner. 

It was rather awkward, nobody was talking to me so I just ate, drank some more drinks, and downed the occasional shots, I believe they were called skittle bombs. I laughed along to everything that was being said and by the time pudding arrived I was tipsy and a lot more confident. I made friends with a fellow girl and we drank some more. 

Once dinner was over, the DJ arrived and my shoes were not even bothering me at this point, I was way too drunk to notice, So the girl grabbed hold of me and we danced, we span around, attempted twerking  (yes very embarrassing I know, but hey ho that's what bloody alcohol does) So, we were twirling around and around and then it happened, I fell down, and out of sheer embarrassment I attempted to stand up and fell down once again and everybody laughed at this point, however, I was in agony. I managed to crawl myself to a nearby chair and lift myself up. 

So sitting on this chair, lots of people were coming over to me and asking If I was okay, because I'm socially anxious I said, "oh yes I'm perfectly fine don't worry it's just a sprain." As they walked off I couldn't handle it, my partner asked if I was alright and I whispered "no it fucking hurts" in his ear. I advised him I couldn't stand up and he should call an ambulance, so he did but it seemed like we were waiting forever, and I couldn't wait anymore so I decided to call a taxi. I had no idea how I was going to walk to the car, let alone sit in it so, my partner and his friend carried me outside, and I remember sobbing because of the pain and out of sheer embarrassment. 

Once we arrived at the accident and emergency room, I was in unbearable pain, I was called in for an initial assessment and they gave me some paracetamol, which to be honest didn't even touch the pain I was feeling my leg was swollen up at this point, and I cannot even describe how much it hurt. 

So we waited in the waiting room for an x-ray and I suddenly felt sick, so what did I do??? that's right, I threw up everywhere, after apologizing a dozen times a cleaner came out and cleared it all up, bearing in mind the waiting room was full of people, all staring at me it was awful everybody was looking at me like I was disgusting.

I was eventually called into the x-ray room, where they informed me that I broke my tibia and fibula the two major bones in my leg, all from wearing high heels what a joke.

Even though this was a fancy occasion I just went on, I wore tights but I only forgot to shave my legs didn't I?  I wasn't planning to get my whole bloody leg out. After my Xrays were all completed, they wanted me to lay on the bed to bandage up my leg, but not before I questioned the nurse, she wanted to give me pain relief but me being the ever so health-conscious person I am, told her I couldn't have anything because I already had paracetamol but, she informed me I'll need a lot more than that and I looked silly once again lol. 

I couldn't believe what happened next, a doctor came into the room and I'm not kidding he was gorgeous. I was a stuttering mess around him, and then suddenly I remembered that my leg looked like a hairy ape's leg and he was gonna see it, he didn't say anything other than question what happened but still, he probably went off and had a right laugh about it. He also informed me that I'll need an operation to fix it, and I said "absolutely not I'm not having an operation no way, I've seen Grey's Anatomy I know some people don't wake up, I cannot do it, there must be something else they can do." He liked my choice of tv show and said "no, you need an operation and it's not like your having open heart surgery it will be fine." I was mortified, I couldn't believe this was all happening to me. 

I had to stay in hospital for ten days after that. I was smelly, my hair was greasy, and countless handsome doctors had to mess about with my leg. By the time I got home, my leg was the hairiest I'd ever seen it. It took 6 months for me to recover because of two infections in my scars. At my partner's next work party, I made sure I wore flats and I had to deal with a few little comments here and there but mostly banter, so I just had to take it.

So there it is, my most embarrassing moment, I told you it was awful.
