Oddly enough, It's all the fault of my cane. Since I have to walk with a cane, I thought I'd get a nice looking one, so I bought one make from a hawthorne root. It's extremely hard, and when I stumbled, my leg got twisted around the cane, causing my leg to snap. So much for vanity. I'm wearing a plastic boot on my leg, which I was told weighs 2 1/2 pounds, but feels like it weighs 50 pounds. I finally got the hang of hopping around with the help of a walker, sleeping on my couch, since I can't go upstairs to my bedroom. Thanks for all your kind thoughts. On the plus side, my roommate has to do everything for me, so he now knows what I went through when he had leg surgery to replace some blood veins.
