The label of clumsy has never been applied to me before. Time to rethink that. I tripped....again...left ankle turned side-ways as I tried to regain my footing, landed on the side-ways ankle and heard the dreaded POP! as I fell. Horrible pain and immediate swelling make me think I've broken the ankle....again. *@#*(!! $*&@&^!! (G-rated version of the words echoed through the house).
Within 2 hours, I was at an orthopedist office to be x-rayed. Results are good news - no new break in the ankle. But the bad news is the fracture from Dec 2008 never completely healed. Or perhaps it broke - again?
Whichever, I'm back in the boot cast for at least 3 weeks at which time I see the doctor again to determine what's next. Lovely.
And if that wasn't enough to make Tuesday miserable....
It was raining when we left the doctor's office. And since it was late, Gary suggested dinner out at a little Mexican food restaurant. As we finished eating, we notice restaurant staff scurrying around with brooms and mops. Water was coming into the restaurant under the doors. Within 15 minutes, the floor was covered with 2 or more inches of water. We looked outside and saw water everywhere.
The street was flooded to the point that firefighters and police were rescuing people stranded in their autos. The parking lot had water up to the doors of my little SUV.
We had to stay put for about an hour waiting for the water to recede. This is the parking lot as we left...
At least dinner was on the house.

Who knew it could be so exciting out there!
Wow! What an eventful day! I'm so sorry about your ankle...hope it heals super quickly. :*)
I can so relate about the flooding...in my home town, flooding is quite regular. It's lucky you were able to get out without water damage to your car...Whew! Hopefully the next few weeks will bring much better luck your way. ;)
