the calm before the tempest

as we were leaving Portland's beautiful Japanese Garden, i slipped on the wet stone steps near the exit and we ended up in the Emergency Room at the Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital.

X-rays revealed a fracture of the right fibula (in other words, a broken ankle) Wish I could say that it happened when I was bungee jumping or skiing...but no, I was just walking.

Now we're back at the hotel with temporary half cast (ankle was too swollen to put a plaster cast on) an ice pack and vicodin.

Our trip will have to be cut short :(
