Four hours at the ER today. Don't try this at home.
Finally made it back home on crutches. Had a misstep last night stepping off a curb that resulted in a rather awkward total wipe-out and six x-rays of my ankle and foot.

No known fractures, but they want me to have x-rays again next week. And an MRI to determine what, if any, damage to the ligaments I had repaired 6 years ago.


Mother tucker it's going to be a long few weeks.

2. Thanks Progmom. I'm getting ready to hit the Darvocet.
Probably won't be able to see the screen much longer!

3. Oh no! You pulled a Marcia!
Our best neighbor did the same thing about 2 years ago. She's so clumsy. Whenever someone does something clumsy, we say they "pulled a Marcia!"

Seriously, hope you're feeling better!:hug:

4. Part clumsy, part shit ankle.
Fractured multiple times and partial reconstruction 6.5 years ago. Things have been grand since then, but no more.

But, thanks for the hug!
