Friday the 13th strikes again...

[Guest guest]

I've been off-line except for a few minutes last night because I had

an accident on Friday. I managed to trip over my dog's wire pen (8

panels of wire hinged together that can be formed into a circular or

square pen), had the entire thing flip up into the air and collapse

around me. So, now my right leg looks like I was attacked by Freddy

Kruger from the Nightmare on Elm Street movies with many long deep

scratches on the side of the calf as well as the back of my thigh, I

have several bruises on my leg that are the size of my entire hand,

and a hole about the size of a quarter on the bottom of my foot. Of

course, the cut is on the same foot as my bad ankle, and since it is

on the bottom of my foot (near my little toe) I have to walk on my

heel with my toes pulled up in the air, which is a position my ankle

does NOT like to be in. So, it is killing me and has swelled up like

a sausage and all the muscles in both of my legs and hips are sore

due to limping around. At least it appears that I didn't break or

sprain anything, and the fall could have been so much worse. It was

just so frustrating to feel like a total klutz yet again! And my

supportive husband was sad that he wasn't home when it happened...

not so that he could have helped me, but he thought it would be funny

to see me trapped in the collapsed pen. What a guy, right?! (Of

course, joking is his way of dealing with being worried about me.)

Anyway, thanks for letting me ramble on...
