Oh, ouch!  Breaking your leg above your ankle is much worse than what I did.
I just broke one of those little bones in the foot.  (I know, I did that
once too, many decades ago!)

My foot has strict instructions to be all better well in time for Everybus.
And I figure it's only worth around one day of complaining.  So that's it!
I guess now I have to get back to all the stuff I should be doing instead of
reaping sympathy!  :-)
