Chris,
I care.� I've done it.� Six years ago I dropped 10 feet straight down through a breaking wisteria arbor and landed on a wood deck, cracking the right talus and shattering the left heel.� Wheelchair, crutches, walking cast, I've done it all.� I still have pain even after followup surgery, and I hope you will be okay.� I figure I made it through the first 50 years or so without too much trouble, so now I'm making up for it.
�
Of course, whoever is taking care of you will�at every opportunity�remind you of how thoughtful, generous and supportive she was during your recovery and will require frequent and assiduous attention to prove that you have not forgotten�her wonderfulness.� At times like that I like to remind�her that when she rushed downstairs to my aid it was she who swung open the screen door directly into sudden and painful contact with those same two feet.
