another unexpected mishap
once
while singing and dancing in my house
another time
while playing extreme family badminton
yet again
after lots and lots of walking and hiking
and
this time
while
running on the ice with the kinders
then
limping to the doctor for a boot
it’s only a matter of time
and i’m sure that
i’ll find
a new happy and healthy activity
to challenge me
but i’m going to
keep the boot this time.

Das boot means the boat, Sonia…wearing a boat is surely a step too far!😉😉

You just made my day by listing how you injured yourself over the years. I work for a Podiatrist, and when a limper comes in, I start with “Oh, looks like you’ve been living life.” There’s always a silver lining. Feel better and remember that ice is your friend .. the more the merrier.

Been there. Oh, the indignity of it all. You will not give up though. At least ice is slippery and makes for a decent excuse. Mine was the clumsy step I didn’t see. Take care and feel better!
