Ellie, Ellie, Ellie, what are we going to do w/you?! My good friend fell on the ice last year on Feb. 3 and she was bed ridden for nearly 4 months and used a walker until just last month and she was only 50 when it happened. She broke her leg and her ankle in 3 places. I know you have to take the pups out (one of the advantages of having cats; we don't have to do that) but, please, be extra careful. Of course, prayers are going up for you right now. I hope you're not in a lot of pain.
