Well, looks like this is not a good year for feet in the Betts’ family. I spent most of the day in the emergency ward getting X-rays and stiches and bandages because – and I know this sounds hard to believe, and almost comical in retrospect – a 7 kilo (15 pound) frozen turkey dropped on my big toe (the handle came apart) and broke the toe as well as ripping the nail out of place and causing much bleeding.

Just like Tim six months ago, I’m in a wheelchair until I can get some crutches that fit me, so getting around is a bit difficult, to say the least.

I’ll catch up with Pbase after work, which I decided to help out with when I got home around 4 p.m. One thing for sure, I won’t be walking Sahraa for a month or two!
