Broken...

So I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole.

And Sunday, while rushing around on a wet floor and wearing dress shoes, Kim fell and broke her leg. Okay, everyone is calling it her ankle. But while it is true that the break occurred in the vicinity of her ankle, it is her fibula that is broken (at the very bottom tip), and the fibula is one of the two bones that make up the lower leg. So there, she broke her leg.

She’s in a walking cast/boot/Robocop Foot and on crutches now, having been to the orthopedic surgeon yesterday. The good news is that she won’t need surgery. The bad news is that she woke up with an intense pain in her upper gastric region this morning.

I was on the phone with EMS when the pain went away, so now we’re going to see our family doctor who will order lots of tests to check for ulcers and blood clots and other fun things.

So Kim still hasn’t gone back to work and I haven’t been to work this week, either. I’m starting to feel bad about not being there, but I also know what’s important in this life. So, wish us luck today if you have any to spare.
