Riley had a vet appointment last evening, and I was carrying him back into the house(in his carrier). I thought I had cleared the step that leads into the kitchen, but the next thing I knew, Riley and I CRASHED to the floor!!! Barry heard the noise, and rushed into the house. My left ankle was looking like the size of 2 softballs, and Riley was scared to death. I told Barry to get Riley settled, then bring me some ice. Off to the ER. To make a very long story short, I have a left distal fibula fracture and a left 5th metatarsal fracture(toe). Here I sit, leg iced and elevated, waiting for a call back from the orthopedic group. The cats and Cat Angel Nurses are here, the purring is so soothing....Will update after the visit to the orthopedist, which might be in a day or longer(Labour Day weekend here in the US)....At least I get to spend time with the Clan....
