Why, I could be Lou’s twin

[HuskyNan]

At least from the knee down. A stupid household accident - not that there are any smart accidents - left me with multiple fractures of the fifth metatarsal, mid-shaft. What a perfectly crappy end to a perfectly crappy week.

Can't just go around kicking stuff.

Ouch .. !!! How did you do that? Hope you will be able to enjoy summertime activities after recuperating...

Do you have pain pills or are you relying on vino and other natural aids?

Ironic..you are wearing New Balance shoes. I thought we were a Nike school.

Sorry, sympathies, hope you heal quickly.

 

[Ozimoto]

Best wishes for quick and complete healing.

Double ouch. To both of you I'm hoping for a speedy and painless recovery.

Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. However, as a public service, give us details. A 32 ounce can of pureed tomatoes or something more dynamic?

I’m going the vino route. I’ll take an occasional Tylenol but really hate pills. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain anyway. It’s mostly achy but only when I walk so I’m parked in front of the TV. I should be able to do away with the crutches in a week but will wear the boot for about 6 weeks. I’m anticipating strange tan lines this year.

Not a fan of Nike. I find NB much more comfortable.

Thanks for the nice words guys. I’m ok, just a bit crabby. I do get out of doing the laundry and grocery shopping for a while although that’s a double edged sword. The bill doubles when my husband gets the groceries

 

[MilfordHusky]

Best wishes, Nan! The left leg looks bionic, so maybe more like Gabby than Lou.

Anything that comes in width is good.

I took a step back and stepped on a shoe, lost my balance, and fell. Too embarrassing

 

[Bigboote]

Sending warm healing thoughts your way, Nan. On second thought, it's 83° here at 9 o'clock (and our AC drip pan is perforated), so I'll send cool healing thoughts.

That’s how it starts... ;^)

It’s mostly achy but only when I walk . . . I should be able to do away with the crutches in a week but will wear the boot for about 6 weeks.

So I suppose joining me for a walk to the ethnic food trucks on the Yale campus is out of the question?

 

[ochoopsfan]

Are you wearing your hair in a bun? That would be a true test of being a twin with Lou

 

[Blueberries]

feel better soon and enjoy the relaxation!

 

[DaddyChoc]

rehab with Rosemary or Amanda?
