Update: One rib definitely broken. It's on my right side...while my shoulder/arm injury is on my left.. Lord. The doctor (well, graduating med school this month) agrees on the broken rib. It pops in and out of place...and if it's "out" of place, it hurts worse. But, I can bend and pop it again and it's alright. Yes, this sounds crazy, but whatever. Its kinda cool that I did it jumping off a waterfall. It only hurts when I'm getting up from laying down or bending to reach for something....and I basically feel like someone took a sledgehammer to my breastbone b/c I think it's bruised pretty bad, too... But, hey... once I get moving, it's alright.
My arm is doing better. Doc thinks I just overextended or did something to the muscle. You'll have to check out the pics where Aaron's like "spread your arms and smile!!" and I try so hard, but my left just wont...I can put my hands on my hips no problem, but straightening the arm and raising it, not so much...
Needless to say, it couldve been A TON worse.. I could have snapped my neck. I'm so stubborn that I just HAD to jump.. *shaking my head at myself* Anyhoo...it hasnt slowed me down though.. Hiked to some deserted beaches today. :)
I really wanted to go horseback riding, but I cant hold the reins b/c my hurt arm is my left arm...aka my prominent hand's arm.. But, its alright. We did the route the horses walk on foot today....as evidenced by all the horse poo.... haha
Well, I just didnt want my last blog to be so dramatic about being hurt and felt the need to update...haha.. :) I just wish the damage couldve all been on one side of my body....
Cant wait to post photos!!!! Headed to a beach tomorrow called Mal Pais to check it out. :) Waves are supposed to be awesome there...and they're about 6 feet here but apparently that's "tiny" compared to surfer's paradise, Mal Pais. Needless to say, I will not be surfing...hahaha...That is ,unless a girl hitting on Aaron does it and I get the jackass idea to show her up again....
Btw...a bull just ran down the street where we were all eating...WHAT?! And..I cant stop feeding the stray dogs....or taking pics of every lizard I see... Whatev. :)
Saw there were some horrible storms the other night in OK. I hope everyone is alright... Were they horribly bad? Damage?
Okay...try to blog again manana! :)))))

Hi! I can't believe you broke a rib. But you're right, it's a pretty cool way to do it!
I'm not sure about the storms in OK, but I just heard on the news something like 20 people have died from the tornadoes and most were in OK. Whoa! I still haven't quite figured out where they were yet, but they weren't in T-Town.
Have fun! I'm excited you're able to blog!!

oh, jackie. a broken rib? gracious.
I think it was in pitcher, ok. and yes, about 2 dozen were killed. we've started having storms that warrant tornado watches here in NC, and they don't have the siren system--yikes!
anyway, good/bad for you that you're trudging on! make the most of it without hurting yourself more (and good job on NOT going horseback riding!)
I love your blogs by the way, KEEP IT UP!
Jackie!! Breaking bones is not cool. I know Aaron may have told you that, but its not! I can't believe you broke a rib. I can't believe you jumped off a 50 ft cliff!! Geez, Surviving to 27 is your new goal!!
Oh and I want to see pics. Of all it. And the video of you jumping.
Broken bones?? You must be more careful, daredevil!
good lord. breaking a rib is no fun... it's like breaking a collarbone (i've done that) and you just have to wait for it to mend itself back together. are you binding your ribcage or anything? that would be funny. i mean, the mental image. anyway... be careful!!!
Wow. You're description of the rib popping in and out made me feel kind of woozy. Was that the effect you were going for? :)
You are such a trooper! Good for you not letting this get in your way of vacation fun.
HOLY HELL LOVER!!!! Just come home now before you injure yourself further!! We'll eat some ITR and drink wine...that's safe right?!?!
