Flying high…..

 

but grounded.

DSC_0001 (2) 

Okay, I know what you’re thinking. Somehow I messed up and reposted the picture from my foot injury in December, but no. This is my left foot – that was my right foot.  The left foot is broken.  Happened this morning while unpacking from our camping trip. It now has a temporary splint on it and I see the Orthopedic man on Wednesday to find out if I will need a pin or just a cast. Really I’m not as much of a klutz as the evidence indicates.  But this does alter a lot of my picture-taking plans for the spring.

So, with the Vicodin kicking in I’m flying high (when I’m not sleeping), but I’m grounded.  I’ll be quite the sight helping my mom along….me with my crutches and her with her walker!  Just gotta laugh.

Oh no! Sorry! I am hoping you don't need too much done on your foot and can go back to a "life on two feet" pretty soon. It happened to me not too long ago two days before flying to N.Y. City for a vacation!

Oh no!!! You've gotta take better care of yourself, lady! I'm so sorry. That looks ouchy. On the plus side, like Brian said, you might have some very interesting vicodin-induced posts! You rest and TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

As for the fragrance of the cherry blossoms, if they have any scent it's too subtle for me.

Oh my, that is bad news! Hope the Orthopedic man has some encouraging news for you. Tell him the spring flowers won't wait.

Oh NO! Keep us posted.

And now who is going to do the spring cleaning and the spring weeding and the spring everything else? Hope it doesn't hurt too much. Take care.

P.S. I'm a Criminal Minds fan too!

Oh CRAP!
First thig this morning I read how you are in a period of "helping your mother with health issues". THEN I see this photo of a foot wrapped and ready for shipping--Shipping and Handling (oops!) right?

NOW I realize it is YOOO WHOO is in the chair, sending us a self portrait. When I break something--for years now it has only been a statue or a dish--grin!--I wonder HOW in hell did this happen? Why Meee? You will HAVE to slow down now.

I'm so sorry for you, and may your healing be quick.

PEACE! Rest! Ha! What else??? The "Story of the Crutch"....
