Owww! Joy, that smarts, even to hear the tale told, much less to
experience it. Sorry to hear of it.

I suppose you have a whole 'nother view of the importance of what is
meant by "de toe bone conneka to da foot bone".

Maybe a quiet evening in the company of good friends, a cup of coffee
enlivened with a shot of scotch,  and a couple of rounds of "Dem Bones"
would lighten the load.

BTW, give Matilda a couple of love pats for us all.  She's gonna feel
neglected.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Best,
