Update on the Sprained Ankle
The doctor had the audacity to laugh after skeptically agreeing my foot should be re-X-rayed.
“Oh you were right to trust your instincts,” he said, a big smile on your face. “It is broken.”
She-ee-et was my response. My grandmother said if you could say the manure word using three syllables, you would remain a lady.
I wonder just how many times you can say it before the lady loses her standing, because I repeated the word quite a few times when he said that I would most likely be in a cast for eight weeks.
I want my life back, and so I’m trying hard to look beyond the next eight weeks.

Bummer, Pat. Just remember, while it doesn’t seem like it now, this, too, shall pass. Give your ankle as much rest as you can so it heals well.

If I hadn’t believed that “this too shall pass” about my divorce, I doubt I’d have been around to ever get the chance to meet you. Which would have been a huge loss. “Keep on keepin’ on” works, too. *G*
Eee Gads, Pat
onward through this fog…
Back to the road where it is safe!!
Thanks Nancilynn. Not sure safe is where I want to be.
Sorry for you pain – and problem. Seems a first-floor place is in order. Course, don’t know how you’d find that.
I got down the stairs on my butt to go to my daughter’s. She’s also encouraging me to get a ground floor apartment, but I’m hoping to get past this. I feel the steps are good for me. Thanks for commenting badwalker.
I think a “Holy She-ee-et!” would be in order here, Pat! But you will get “beyond” this. Sending you a big hug!!
Thanks Deborah. Looking forward to getting beyond this.
Shoot, shucks, sauerkraut and chitlings is what my mom recommended for a ladylike response. ‘Course a broken ankle in no way requires a ladylike response. Surely is an imposition for you and Pepper. Wish it wasn’t so, Pat.
How about Dookie, dookie, dookie, Barbara
You have some great photos! We would love to feature some of your photos on our nature blog. Please email wp.wildlifepic@aol.com or comment back. We would love to hear from you!
Thanks. I’ll consider it.
Sure, just email when you do!
Awesome. Awesome. Awesome picture and great quote to go with it. 🙂
Thanks Guat
Oh, my!!! Hope everything heals well and you are back clicking your heels 😉 So, how does that work on the road? (insurance and where you go) just wondering!
I’m in Tucson where my daughter lives for a while, but my Medicare and Medigap insurance, thankfully, should cover everything. I’ll finally get something back for all the money I’ve paid them for the past nine years when, thankfully again, I stayed healthy.
Man, sure puts a cramp in your wandering style. Maybe you will be able to hobble out a bit real soon or your dog walker might be able to help you too,
Iknow how you feel. My arm is still in a sling at the moment, another week before I start physio to get range of motion back, 4 to 6 months they say. 😦
I’m hoping it won’t be that long! Take care of the ankle, you need it for a while yet.

Thanks. I’m trying to be patient, which isn’t in my nature, and not to anything stupid. March 5th is the day I get to see if I can loose the boot.
Yikes. You’ve had quite a beginning to 2013. Hope things have started going a little more your way by now.
I’m sure it will. Thanks Robin.
