Thank You

Thank you

for your kind comments,

everyone.

I appreciate each one.

Truly, I do.

I am waiting and hoping

that there is good news

for me tomorrow.

Saturday afternoon

I twirled around in my chair

and gracefully fell

over the dog.

I do have osteoporosis,

and in January of 2010,

I fractured a bone in my right leg.

This time it is my left ankle.

I am grateful

that I still have this walking

boot that I was able

to wear then

after my cast (orange!!)

was removed.

Some people have road rage,

not me.

I have been known

to have Velcro Rage.

Five straps,

count them,

that love to grip themselves

together in an eternal entanglement,

not counting

the flaps underneath

that one has to

smooshe together,

in a sticky, hairy embrace.

As some wise person

once said,

"Getting old ain't for sissies."

It does hurt,

and sleeping is difficult...

but I can walk around the house

in a hobbling gait.

I am hoping that tomorrow

after Xrays today,
I will be told that
it is only a bad ankle sprain.
best, e.
