I was taking the puppy out this morning, slipped and fell, sprained my ankle, broke a bone in my foot, and took the skin off of my other knee. Puppy is fine.

Sorry about your ankle & foot. Try to take it easy. How long do you have to be on the crutches?

After having work down on our front and back landscaping here for the last two months- those rocks look pretty cool! What a great MD idea. I asked DH if we could NOT go out to do something and just stay home instead and enjoy our gardens at home instead. We have lots of roses and other plants too in pots we can plant up that weekend. He made me a MD tea party (cooked all the food and set it up himself) one year and we'll do that again as we all enjoyed it so much. we're a tea party family! Here are some pics of our recent landscaping projects on my Picture Trail. The gazebo in our front yard was our Valentine's Day Wedding anniversary gift to each other. I think the new front yard and back patio are our Mother's Day and Father's Day gifts -for a few years! careytearose Here is a link that might be useful: check out the Landscaping Projects 2007 album

Nice haul you got there and I bet at good prices too! Garden Club plant sales are a great way to add plants to your collection. I've noticed the plant sales are starting to pick up around here too, but I haven't been to any yet. :-/

Very nice, I also went plant shopping. I got a huge broad leaf Spath. Its leaves are a little tore up but it does have two blooms and a lot of new growth. I also got an asparagus fern. My daughter picked it out. I've been trying to get her interested in plants so obviously I had to get it for her. A large hanging pot of monstera. Not sure what kind but it's one of the smaller leaved ones and last a small spider plant. I feel like I've made bank. I hope the cold trip home didn't damage them too much.

I get the idea that you really, really LIKE it! (ha-ha) Hope you enjoy it for a long time. We stopped buying *new* and started buying 'dealer certified used' a long time ago. These are titled, but with only a few hundred miles on them, and they are backed for the original warranty. (Usually six years.) We bought our current 2005 in June 2006. This works well for us because we put so few miles on a car. We are also no longer excited about spending for the latest style or gadget in a depreciating asset. (I wouldn't turn down a Tesla though!)

Oh gosh, Terilyn. Sure hope you get some good news from the doctor. In the meantime, be a good girl and stay off it as much as possible :-)

Your description is funny, but your situation is not. I hope you heal quickly.

Hey pretty toes, Teri!! LOL I'm sure glad Bella is okay!!! Hahahha.
Do you just have to wear a bandage, or do you have to have a full cast? I don't envy you, I'd be a worse klutz hobbling around on crutches and a cast/heavy bandage. Good thoughts coming your way Teri.

Splinted right now until the swelling goes down, then a cast. Taking Bella out with crutches is definitely going to be interesting!

When I did that dance, they had me wear an air cast. It was much better than all the bandages, because I could take it off to take a bath, and at night in bed. Ask the ortho about it--it was my orthopedic surgeon who gave it to me. Take care of yourself!

Drats! I was hoping you got a new car or a winning lotto ticket! Hope the leg heals quickly... it doesn't sound like fun to have to use crutches.

I'm with you, Lydia. I thought she'd gotten a neat present of some kind. I hope you're all healed as quickly as possible.

Well, that's not what I expected to see! Do be very careful on the crutches. The tip of the crutch can slip if you come to a wet place. If the tips are old, they won't hold well either. You can get new tips at a good pharmacy. I was on crutches for many months. The only good thing is they build your upper body strength.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Take it easy.

I didn't know puppies were so dangerous. My friend has a cocker spaniel puppy and she fell and badly bruised herself and broke her wrist walking her teeny, tiny dog. Sorry about your accident. Hope you heal quickly.

I was so excited about opening this to see what you had that I could enjoy vicariously through you. Ok - not so much. I've been there and it isn't enjoyable.

Hope your news is good and you recover quickly.

Like wanda when I did it I wore an air cast (for 4 months - it was a reeeeaaaaly bad sprain and I tore a bunch of ligaments in the ankle). But that won't be your case.

That's certainly not what I expected! I was on crutches as a kid and I remember my armpits hurt worse then my sprained ankle!!

Hope you are feeling better asap!

It's the 'broke a bone in my foot' part that concerns me most. You might want to line up someone to help with the dog. This could take a while to heal. Nice timing, huh? Hoping you heal FAST!

Sorry you got hurt. My only suggestion is, keep your foot elevated as much as you can. It will speed healing and help with the pain.

My goodness! That is not what I was expecting! I am so sorry that you got injured so badly. Be careful with the crutches! I've never been able to "navigate" very well with them. I will be happy to puppy-sit Bella while you heal if you want to ship her to me! Sending good thoughts for speedy healing.

Big foot: Plan on 4 to 6 weeks for a broken bone. You got a sprain and a break- wow! That must have been a land of hurt.

I hope you heal quickly. I am desperately afraid of falling especially when I walk the two dogs for three miles. I usually walk one and husband does the other one but today he was busy. They are 27 pounders and the Dachshund is low to the ground and is easy to trip over if I'm not paying attention. I have two friends right now in the hospital from falls like yours...one broke a leg, the other ripped up her knee so they're doing a replacement.
