From Hell to Heaven In Less Than 24 Hours

June 4, 2018 by Suzie the Foodie 10 Comments

To Hell And Heaven In Less Than 24 Hours

You know what does not mix? Sleeping pills and staircases. Long story short, I missed the last TWO steps of the staircase. My foot swooped underneath me and I landed on TOP of my foot full force at 4 am.

This was the day I was going to see my friend Michelle for the last time before she sails away for her long-term adventure and I had huge bulges coming out of the top of my foot and my ankle and almost passed out from the pain. Fuck! Seriously? Like come on, enough already. I have been through enough of this bullshit.

Michelle being the hero that she is drove into town, took me to clinics and spent the day in waiting rooms while I saw doctors and got x-rays. They think it isn’t broken but the lab tech was like, what the hell did you do???

I had to then find a place where I could get one of those Frankenboots because I am in the basement and have to deal with stairs all the time. Turns out it was a smart call. I sprained the top of my foot, both sides of my ankle and the front and back of my leg. This is one of the few times my hyper flexibility paid off. It could have been a LOT worse. Bloody hell.

The Burger’s Priest

To Hell And Heaven In Less Than 24 Hours

1636 Queen Street East

In search of healing after all that medical crap we went back to The Burger’s Priest like we did in 2016. I was in need of some major foodie healing!

To Hell And Heaven In Less Than 24 Hours

Once again I sought guidance from the High Priest and Michelle ordered the Fiery Furnace. I had already been to hell so I was like, I will take secret sauce instead. Please and thank you.

You should know this is a closet of a so-called restaurant. And people don’t seem to care that you are wearing a leg brace and are in terrible pain so you have to wait for them to get their order and leave before you can claim a stool.

To Hell And Heaven In Less Than 24 Hours

Oh yeah!! This time I went for the two burgers but I was like, where is the secret sauce?

To Hell And Heaven In Less Than 24 Hours

Michelle totally fell in love with her burger and hey, her cheese was actually melted! Unlike mine… OMG.

I hobbled over to the server and asked for more sauce and she obliged generously which made me much, much happier.

Maple Leaf Dairy Ice Cream Shop

To Hell And Heaven In Less Than 24 Hours

I REALLY wanted to go to Sweet Jesus for ice cream after being at Burger Priest (the blasphemy was almost too good to pass up) but we ended up avoiding traffic purgatory by going to Maple Leaf Dairy Ice Cream instead.

To Hell And Heaven In Less Than 24 Hours

Michelle and I went to Maple Leaf Dairy Ice Cream Parlour back in 2012 together and neither of us had forgotten the humungous and generous size of their “single scoop” ice cream. Michelle ordered the red velvet which she adored.

To Hell And Heaven In Less Than 24 Hours

This time I finally remembered to take her advice and sample ice creams before ordering. Because of the massive size of the ice cream I went with cappuccino. How I love cappuccino and could never get sick of it.

No, this is not the fanciest hand-churned ice cream in the city but on that hot day after lots of screaming, tears and pain this was just what I needed and I am pretty sure I only paid around $6 and got a TON of ice cream.

Foodie Friends

I want to thank all my friends on social media who have supported me through this journey who watched it unfold live online (see social media links at the top of the page). A foodie friend even made this superhero graphic for me which meant the world. I went from feeling like a complete and total loser to realizing that it is true, I will find a way to keep bringing you foodie stories and reviews somehow, some way.

    When I saw that boot, I thought “OH NO!!!!” Glad to hear it is just a sprain and not a break, but it sucks you have to deal with this on top of everything else. But I like that new superhero persona “Cyborg Suzie!”

    There’s a Burger’s Priest burger bar about a block from me and I had one of their cheeseburgers last night for supper. Best burger in town, as far as I’m concerned. Then for dessert I had mango ice cream at the next door Marble Slab ice cream place!

    Edmonton just got its first “Sweet Jesus” in a local mall food court and when I walked past last week, it was being staffed by a young lady in a hijab which I thought was a nice touch, LOL!

      Debra, it is a blood MIRACLE is didn’t shatter my foot, ankle and leg. Seriously, I am TOUGH! It’s the only time in my life my body has been a badass, taking all that damage and not breaking. But yeah, it totally sucks. Yes! Isn’t that the best?!

      No way! I didn’t know Burger Priest was outside of Toronto at all, that’s awesome! And I am so glad you agree that they have flippin’ awesome burgers. Wow, Marble Slab ice cream to boot! (No pun intended.) You just gotta have ice cream after a burger.

      And Sweet Jesus is in Edmonton?! Holy crap! I gotta get out. I keep hearing not so great reviews of it but I just love the sound of it so much and how cool she was wearing a hijab, that’s fantastic. They were getting REALLY picketed and protested here for a while. I am glad we have gotten past it. It is the #1 place I wanted to go after moving here. One day…

      Olivia… Six MONTHS?! OMG, that’s awful! The doc didn’t even look at my leg, just got the x-ray results and had zero advice for me. I hurt mine so badly that I wouldn’t be surprised if I spent most of this year in the boot. You poor thing! I am sorry that happened to you. Hugs.

    I still have my fucking boot — it was too expensive to throw out.
    I missed the bottom step 5 weeks ago and am still in agony — so tomorrow when back in London I am going to spend hours in waiting rooms as the pain is midback and affecting my sleep.

    hugs — that food looked fucking awesome.

      Janet, oh no, you hurt your ankle the same way? I didn’t realize that. It’s awful, I know. I’m so sorry you’re in such pain. It is such an awful injury, I hope they can help you.

    I know having that foot brace is a lot. Thankfully it wasn’t a worst fall. You have that lucky Aquarius energy keeping you optimistic even when things get tough.

      Yes it is Shell! I am hoping it is covered by our insurance. It could have been so much worse, I realize that now. At the time I thought I had broken my foot in two places but so relieved it was just sprained. Yes, trying to tap into that crazy Aquarius energy and inspiration no matter what!
