JUDY TENUDA

I WENT ON STAGE WITH HER,THEN BROKE MY ANKLE GETTING OFF STAGE.
So here it goes and I pray this is the last time I have to tell this story. I was at gay pride sucking in the wonderful songs by The Pubes, waiting for the performances by Taylor Dane, En Vogue, and a stand up act by Judy Tenuta, who is hillarious by the way.
I'm little and quick. Security took down the crowd control bars, because Judy wanted to be able to touch her fans. I don't know why, but out of the 5,000 people there, she asked me and four other random people to join her on stage. So we did. We were boosted up one-by-one by the people in the crowd.
So I'm up there, feeling like a gay god as an obscene amount of people view us on stage. Anyhow, as I was getting down, apparently my left side was more supported than my right -- because I fell, landing not flat footed like I should have, but landing on my ankle, flat with my foot pointing in several different directions. When I tried to correct my standing, I rolled onto the other side of my ankle and shot bone fragments into my leg artery. They ultimately cut off the blood flow to my ankle, making it a possibility that I could lose my foot.
Woo-hoo, I didn't. But I did go into emergency surgery where they picked out the shattered bone piece-by-piece and reset my ankle with eight screws, which I will wear with pride for the rest of my life.
