After a gathering on Sunday night, I missed a step in the dark, fell down and dislocated and fractured my right ankle and sprained my left ankle.  The group I was with was marvelous -- they knew exactly what to do, and took care of me as if I were one of their own.  Many thanks to Rich and Val for first rate first aid, to Shannon for driving me to ( Read more... )
