Half broken leg

Well it has come to my attention that I must now speak about what happened to my leg. I haven't mentioned it because I technically don't consider it broke. I still don't understand quite what happened but it was something like this: I was working in the yard (of course) and I had the hose out and the blower was out also. It was the first time I ever used the blower and it had never been out of the box. The cord is so long so you can plug it in and walk all over to blow the leaves or whatever. My foot got tangled in the hose or the blower cord (I never took the time out from all my crying to look at which cord) and I fell. Now mind you I fell straight down but my lower leg decided to go the opposite way. Of course my leg came down on the brick retaining wall. I have all this yard in which to fall on cushy grass but no! I fall on the wall which is not even very wide. I went into the doctors the next day and they took x-rays. It is a hairline fracture. Not very big at all. But I have this ugly thing I have to wear and it makes me sweat and when I sweat then I want to itch it. Its a vicious circle really. Couldn't have happened in the winter time when there is nothing to do! Doctor said if I baby it then I should be good for my cruise. Of course I twisted it today at work. So it is back to hurting really bad. I am resting it from now on. So now you know the rest of the story....... thanks mom
