The good news is that I now have a cane to wave at any young whippersnappers, plus I have really adorable knee dimples.
The bad news is that I have a fucking cane on the day I am reading at the wedding of my oldest friend in the world because I wasn't paying attention last night and missed a step into the garage.
One. Damn. Step.
I got up, got the dog food out of the car, came in the house and went about my normal routine, including evening meds and bed at 11. I woke up at 3 with horrible pain, and because my knee wouldn't support my weight, it took me an hour to get dressed and put the dog downstairs and drive myself to the hospital.
After x-rays, ibuprofen, an ice pack and some shade from a young male doc about my weight, they set me free at 6 to go pick up more meds and a cane. I have to give a huge thanks to the pharmacist on duty at my local Walgreen's. He let me wait in my car in the drive-through, went out to the retail side and got me a quad cane, filled my prescriptions and ran it all through my insurance while being incredibly nice. Then we worked together to get the cane through the drive-through window so I didn't have to go inside.
So I got home, fed LMPP, took some ibuprofen and fell asleep for a few hours. I am going to this wedding and I am stopping to pick up a frame for the magical wedding certificate Violante de Rojas made for the brides.
Of course, I am also going to look like a damn fool, because I am one.

Not a fool. YOu really should get new steps in the garage tho. Them things be Dangerous. They almost killed me a few times.
I'm also considering a cane, which, with my dog, should make walking very busy.
Mama Jammies promised to move adding hand rails to the steps the top priority on Scary Bear's to-do list when they get back from the lake.
That's good, because it seems to me, darlin', and no offense meant, but you need rails on all your stairs.
You're right, and I do have rails on both sides of the basement stairs. I will be happy to get a garage railing or two!
you are not a fool! You will go to the wedding and have a good time.
I did go and I did have a great time! :-D
