I realized how fast time has flown when I checked the date of my last post...somehow, I can't remember having much fun this past few days as time flew by. :-)
My thanks to all of you who called or communicated in someway your wishes for a Happy Birthday to me. It truly was a rather pleasant day-all things considered. Just another quiet evening at the old homeplace with the furry girls. Oh yeah, and did I mention the trip to the Emergency Room...
I found that I can now wear some shoes with heels on them (thanks to Carol I have some more footwear choices) Well....on Monday, walking down the hall to my classroom while wearing said footwear...I did a sudden, but dare I say graceful.....wait for it.....it's coming....fall on the level hallway just in front of the video camera on the 1st hall! Yes, I stunned both my knees by promptly pressing all feeling out of them as I ever so slightly turned my ankle, which I secretly believe was the cause of the fall and not some mysterious speck of dust on the floor. I was shaken, but not stirred and continued on with my day. About 8:00 that evening, I looked down at my ankle and did not recognize it! It seemed to have grown in size and had a couple of "ripples" in it. I also realized that it was throbbing also...Knowing Mr. Murphy and his infamous Law, I knew that if I DIDN't get it checked out, it would probably fall off by morning. Also knowing that if I tried to outsmart Mr. Murphy and actually go get it checked, there would be nothing wrong with it. Since it was still relatively early in the evening and knowing that if I spent the usual 5 hours in the ER, I might still get home in time for a couple hours of sleep before school, I limped to the car and trundled myself to the said ER. Lo and behold, I was back home before midnight!! The ER doctor had taken some xrays of my foot/ankle area, and even though he didn't know it was my birthday, he gave me 4 little white pills in a rather charming small brown bottle.! How di he know that things in small brown bottles are one of my favorite things!
I am happy to report that although I am not quite ready to run a marathon and I have some new greenish/blue areas on my knees and ankle, I am no longer limping...I look forward to my next adventure with " The Shoes With The Real Heels On Them...."

I gave up heels after my sprained ankle got better. I often envy Jennifer and her cute pair of black high heels. Glad you weren't injured to badly.
Sorry, but I couldn't help smiling when I read your blog. I could imagine myself doing the very same thing unfortunately. I did enjoy your style of writing though as it was laced with tons of humor. That'll teach you to try to "walk a mile in my shoes".
Seriously though, I do hope you recover and soon.
