Well 'ole' "clumsy carp" has done it again

Again.................the"Queen" has taken a tumble - this time suffering a broken ankle. On Sunday while gardening I backed into a low fence & lost my balance (yes I know.......AGAIN??????) & fell. Hearing that snap as I came down alerted me to the possibility that this was going to be a serious one. Sure 'nuf...........at the ER they X-rayed, confirmed a break & put on a walking cast - I go to see the orthopedist today for follow-up.
Will cramp my style at work & arthritis in my shoulders makes using the crutches very painful - I may resort to a wheelchair :~(.
More to follow.

How awful, I am so sorry!! I do hope your ankle heals up nicely. Best wishes.

Hope all the news from the medical side is good - Drink Milk! Every extra bit of calcium helps - Or at least it's a good excuse for ice cream and yogurt! :-) And make sure you get a referral for physical therapy after the ankle's healed - helps restore mobility and flexibility. Really helped me when I broke my tibia / fibula.
