I was congratulating myself on the fact that my back had improved after the car accident and I would be in good condition for Christmas. Shouldn't have thought that thought. I opened the side gate from the garden in front of the garage to be confronted with broken glass and other horrible things that someone, who was drunk, had deposited there. I hosed away the filth and then stepped out to pick up the glass. What I didn't see was that the path was slippery. Now I sit with a broken foot and all my plans shattered.
What I can do is sit and stitch. So I will start my sampler for 2012. With any luck it will be finished before 2012 gets here. Or maybe I should do some knitting, that's good when you can't move. It all depends what is the easiest to reach! Oh bother, ( I have thought of other words.)
Oh, dear, Carolyn, you have my sympathy and I feel for you. I did it the other way around, had a suspected cracked bone in my left wrist after going backwards and downwards when I attempted to slam a sticking door shut and the handle came off in my hand ( and yes, I am left handed!)THEN, as that got better the kid with the PPlate decided to change a CD in his ute and backended me when I was parked off the road answering the mobile! Luckily, the car was still running and in drive, so I just flew down the road, hit no-one and only had an aching back for a couple of days. He took my drivers side back wheel right off and wrote off my car:( So I was very lucky.
It is all very frustrating:(((
Merry Christmas and here's hoping things improve for 2012!

Hi Mary
Its been a bad year for falls. Had a major fall in NZ and ended up with a gangrene hernia that ruptured and I have been super careful since then. We had a week down at ORiellys and I was very careful walking. This time I slipped on the drive after cleaning up someones extra Xmas Cheer that had left there. I had to send my husband to clean up the broken glass . Roll on 2012.

Looks like I will start it wrapped in plaster.
