Last Injury Update

I promise, this is my last injury update (I know you really would rather see pictures of Ansley and Kennedy).

To recap, for everybody I will see at my 10-year reunion at DePauw, I injured myself in an ultimate fighting tournament cage match. You all know that I'm a triple black belt.... anyway, I went "Karate Kid" on my last opponent, both "painting the fence,"
"sweeping the leg," "waxing on and off," and ultimately putting my opponent in a body bag (if you've never seen Karate Kid, I'm sure your eyes are glossed over).

Okay, I'm a bad liar. I hurt myself shoveling. That's right, S-H-O-V-E-L-I-N-G. Really, no good stories besides hurting myself doing some "gardening."

It turns out I have a severe ankle sprain, so they put me in a cast and boot (by the way, this is the most expensive shoe I have ever owned) for the next week. Hopefully, it will improve. If not, he told me I might have Dwight Freeney's injury and asked me if I followed sports (he has no idea...). Anyway, let's hope it improves.

Again, I promise this will be the last blog about my ankle issues. Again, thank you to everyone who has helped watch the kids the week (and especially Molly who is doing "double time"): my parents, Cass, Em, and Linda.




















Here is me in my full ensemble of boot, cast, crutches, and man bag (it's not a purse... it's actually a diaper bag) filled with various essentials like my favorite book, water, etc...



















Had to squeeze Kennedy into this post. She's been a great helper. Don't ask about the hat. It embarrasses Molly to no ends (and for good reason).













Nice neon green cast.



















My $250.00 shoe. (It actually comes with a "pump," similar to the Reebok pump of the '90's).
