STOCKED UP FOR THE WEEKEND

Forth Worth, TX

As some of you know, I hurt myself last week jumping off a ledge....thinking I was 21 again and not realizing I'm 51 until I hit and I hit hard. I finally heard back from the doc today. X-rays show that I tore both achilles tendons (both feet). The right one worse than the left. They are better but I still have a lot of pain when I walk. I bought all this stuff so I could cushion my feet for this weekend and threw in the chocolate cupcakes for good measure. Wendy is coming into town tomorrow to help me shoot a wedding and then we have our Pbase meet up on Sunday. I flat out refuse not to show. I may be slow but I'll be there. You guys will just have to bare with me on my slowness. Hey, anyone own a wheelchair???

Got a walker your welcome to use. Wish I could bring it down. Used to have kin there, but have died off and their kids have moved! Good luck, stay off it as much as possible and drink a lot! I find that generally works well for me! LOL

Great shot, and extra chocolate does help!

OMG! I don't have a wheel chair but, I do have a Cane, actually two, you'll need both for both feet. Try to stay off of them as much as you can, use ice and a heating pad and maybe another cup cake too!Poor you LOL

Hey Kido you haven't come to the jumping off place yet. It wasn't your age and it wasn't your dexterity it was your shoes. You have to start out slower (or should I say lower) and work your way up to it. Don't give up now take a leap of faith. LOL Yeah, we got several of them here. (wheelchairs I mean)

Oh! Cindi - mega OUCH!!! Hope you heal soon. Have a good weekend - I'm sure the other PBasers would wheel you around - find that chair!!!!!

Wishing you a painless weekend, Cindi, take care of your poor feet. I believe the PBasers will carry you if you need it :)
I wish I could be with you, guys!
