With age comes wisdom? Yes, but also clumsiness!

Yes that's right! I have managed to break my foot. I don't even have a good story to tell. I just fell down my stairs. I was at the top of my stairs and I took a step down with my left foot and it slipped. My stairs are quite steep and the carpet is slick! Anyway, my left foot took off and my right foot stayed at the top. I haven't done the splits for a really long time but I'm here to tell you that I still can. I finally stopped myself about half way down and somehow brought my right leg down to my left and relocated my right hip. Yes it hurt but I was too embarrassed to acknowledge it. I hobbled around for a couple of days and then when I was back at work the other day, I had one of the doctors xray it and sure enough it is broken. I was given a boot and sternly told that anytime my foot touches the floor it needs to be in the boot. I am fairly compliant with this because it feels much better in the boot. I am wearing this for the next six weeks! This part will be hard when it starts to feel better.
