Ouch! Chevy, sorry to hear about your accident. You didn't ruin Thanksgiving. At least you got to eat with your family before the fall. This year was the first year we were having Thanksgiving at my house. I developed pink eye on Wednesday and my family cancelled Thanksgiving altogether.
Plus, think of it this way. Your family had a lot of time to think about the things that they are thankful for! I'm sure you were at the top of that list.
Ack! Chevy, I'm SOOOO sorry!!! Okay, everyone, let's tell Chevy all our Thanksgiving horror stories to make her feel better. Here are mine:
There was one year when I started miscarrying the day before Thanksgiving and my doctor ordered me to bed for the duration, to see if I'd be able to keep the baby (I was toward the end of the first trimester). Well, I had a big party planned, as usual, with lots of friends coming over, so I called and explained that, while I had the fixings for the dinner, I would be unable to cook it. My dear girlfriends said never mind, we'll do it for you, so everyone came over and cooked Thanksgiving dinner at my house. It was a riot! Periodically people would yell at me to go and lie down because I kept trying to get up. Unfortunately, I lost the baby anyway, and every time I hear "All I Want For Christmas Is You" I think of that little one.
Then there was the memorable year when Jennie, who was about two years old, got strep throat and we had to go to the emergency room of the hospital on Thanksgiving Day -- us and about 100 other people. We got to spend the day there with a sick, irritable toddler and had a really yucky Thanksgiving dinner from the hospital cafeteria. FINALLY Jennie was seen and given a choice of 10 days of liquid medicine or one shot. In chorus, including her, we chose the one shot, but it took three nurses to hold her down.
Good luck!
Lots of love,
Nina
Sounds so painful! I'm sorry to hear you were hurt, get well soon
Chevy: I'm sorry I hope you heal fast. My fubar was last Christmas was my Never Fail Fudge ....YES you can Fail if you fail to put in the sugar LOL I was doing 50 things at once and somehow forgot it. It is still sloshing somewhere in a pan
Last Thanksgiving, Our family was in the hospital...
Our Older daughter had appendis...appendiz....
her thingy was inflamed.
and we spent the day with her in the hospital. The nicest thing that happened was, the chaplain came to her room and made animal balloons, and other humor and prayed for us.
We were so greatful.
Then the next day, my oldest son and DIL brought over a complete turkey dinner, balloons, and helped me clean Tabby's wounds.
I cried like a baby.........How embarrissing.
How awful for you! I am so sorry! 
I talked to a saleswoman at Sears this morning, and she broke her thumb yesterday morning, trying to move her dining room table by herself. She had a makeshift caste on today, and said it was really difficult to do all the cooking like that, but most of it was already prepared before it happened. All I can say is she must have really brittle bones.
How rude to ruin thanksgiving!!!! If you only had the decency to fall and not get hurt, everyone could have a good laugh. But no! You had to hurt yourself. At the very least you could have been running to save a child from a speeding train and been hurt for a noble cause. But no!
Get better, and I really am sorry you are hurting.

Poor darling.... Ouch!!! Keep off it as much as possible -give it time to heal it better from me!!!
Dang CHEVIES! You didn't ruin Turkey Day dear...just be thankful there was someone around to help when you busted your bootay!...Hope you get well soon and let us know how it goes! Do I need to fly out and play doctor perhaps?
Sincerely,
District Overbeer
Ow.
I bet they don't think you ruined TG. I bet they won't forget this TG as long as they live and don't get alzhiemers. If there were kids they probably will enjoy telling the story to their friends and they sure won't forget the experience. Come to think of it, neither will you. Hope you aren't in too much awuful pain.
