Don’t watch this video if you don’t like broken bones or injuries, etc.!
Hello to my wonderful amazing customers!! I have had a bad accident happen to me, and it’s going to change up the scone shop hours over the next few weeks, as I try to adjust to being completely bedridden for 6 weeks.
I had just gotten home from the bakery and was out walking in front of my house with my family on that beautiful Easter Sunday we just had, and one little tiny misstep caused me to snap my ankle. We had to call an ambulance and I had to get emergency surgery on my right ankle - Open Reduction internal
Fixation Bimolleolar Unilateras - for anyone who wants to know the technical terms haha. Three steel plates and lots of screws later and now I have a Terminator ankle. You may call me the CHELSENATOR now 🤣
I was in shock still in the video, and not feeling any pain yet. I’ve never experienced that before! What your body does with adrenaline so that you don’t even feel the pain - I couldn’t believe it! I was staring at my ankle, completely hanging in its skin, and felt no pain, and was laughing and chatting with so many kind, incredible neighbours and passersby that stopped to help. You can see when they are loading me onto the stretcher, both of the guys holding the end closest to my feet stumble/wobble on that same little uneven lip of pavement that did this to my ankle!
I can definitely feel alllll the pain now. It’s unlike anything iver ever experienced. I can’t believe my body protected me from feeling that. Incredible!!
So at the moment, we are going to be closed tomorrow - Thursday April 9th. I just have to try and do some training from my home on how to do all the things that only I know how to do/make - which is A LOT. So I’m very sorry that we will be closed tomorrow, but the plan is to be open normal hours 10am-5pm Friday Saturday and Sunday of this week. Please bear with me while I make some really huge adjustments to my life and how to keep the scones going while I’m bedridden!
