Visiting

Had a fun visit with my oldest brother Ed and his wife Joyce. We had a nice chat about families, and plans for the future. What a nice afternoon. We also had delicious parsnip soup which Holly made and cinnamon pull aparts. That all just made it perfect. Wish we could have more of these times together.

Broken Foot.

Well here is a picture from last Thursday. I was riding my pet giraffe, he got running really fast and then pulled up short and I fell off (actually I stepped on a blanket, hiding under the blanket was a sippy cup, which of course rolled and tripped me up). It was a long way to fall and of course I twisted both of my ankles. The right one took the full weight of my fall and so I broke my posterior malleolus bone on the lower back of the tibia. I also put a little crack in the fibula. The doctor put me in this boot to support the ankle but told me not to walk on it. So I am hobbling around with a walker, and hopping on my sprained, left ankle.
I am so glad to have good helpers here to take care of me. I am spending a lot of time in the recliner with both legs elevated. Everyone brings me medicine, drinks and anything else I happen to need.
The really frustrating thing is that I can't work until I can walk on the foot. Which means that for now I am using personal leave and my coworkers are having to pick up the shifts. I feel really bad about that, wish I could do something about it, but I can't.
I go back to the doctor on Thursday and then we talk about how well it is healing and what the future course will be.
