Oops! I did it again...
I wasn't even having fun! (eye roll)
I broke my left ankle, this time a bone at the top and one above the heel in the back. I break a left foot bone once or twice a year. At one time it had many breaks, but healed...since then, its just a pain in the...foot. I don't bother going to the doctor, I wrap it at home and it heals. Then I do it again. Last time, I was rock-hopping in the river. Today, I was pushing one grocery cart and pulling another...downhill in the parking lot and the cart was faster than I was. That's a new one, run myself over with a shopping cart. I knew instantly the rest of the day would be tough. Driving home (32 miles), I told myself to enjoy sitting because I won't sit again until I "decontaminated" myself in the shower, all the groceries were brought in, put away. Also to be done was cat boxes and take out trash. The cat boxes are always the first (and last) chore of the day, but since I left before daylight, I decided to wait, thinking I'd be home around 9 or 10. It wasn't a fun drive, that was my clutch foot. I'll give myself the rest of the day off, tomorrow- back to work! I have to get this overdue order out!
I was told this foot would always be fragile. I've broken it many times since snd I'm sure I will again. I'm thankful its still there to break! It was so damaged, circulation was a problem in the early days, the doctor said I might lose it. That terrified me. I feel very lucky. No hiking or cyr wheeling for a few weeks, then... I wonder how I'll break it next time! I'd take a broken foot over a headache any day! I have to laugh at myself, life is too short to cry anymore. A shopping cart...sheesh! (I hope nobody saw that!)
