Oh, ouch! Breaking your leg above your ankle is much worse than what I did.
I just broke one of those little bones in the foot. (I know, I did that
once too, many decades ago!)
My foot has strict instructions to be all better well in time for Everybus.
And I figure it's only worth around one day of complaining. So that's it!
I guess now I have to get back to all the stuff I should be doing instead of
reaping sympathy! :-)
