Clumsy me, I sprained my ankle Friday afternoon, picking up my granddaughter from her elementary school, as I have been doing for the last two weeks, and running errands for Lora, until she recuperates and can drive. Well, that was cut short...thanks to me!
Long story...short, this is how I look now, badly sprained ankle...went to the walk in clinic with my daughter-in-law Cara. She left work early to take me...did not want to go to the ER and wait for hours. Tomorrow I have to go to the orthopedic, and probably be fitted for one of those cute orthopedic boots. In the meantime, Lora found a "walker" for me at a local thrift shop (takes after mom with thrifting) brand new, it cost $8.00. What a bargain! I cannot stand on the left foot now, at all...just hobbling around.

In the meantime...before my sprained ankle, I did agree to do the Online Bake Sale for Becky, who is hosting the event to Fight Cancer.
I am honored that she asked me, and of course I want to do this. I lost both my parents to cancer, my younger sister is in her sixth year of "cancer free"...from breast cancer, and as you know, what my own daughter went through with her cancer surgery...but she is in full recovery...thank God!

ReplyDeleteUn caro saluto e tanti auguri di pronta guarigione :)
ReplyDeleteoh dear, i've sprained my ankle before when i was younger and it was painful!!! rest lots and i hope you enjoy the pampering :)!
ReplyDeleteÖrvendek, hogy tetszik a játék, kiváncsian várom az ajánlatodat, és majd megkukucskálom azoknál is akiket te kérsz fel játékra. Jó gyógyulást kívánok, sejtettem a képről, hogy valami történt a lábaddal, mert sajnos angolt nem tanultam, csak annyit értegetek amit a televízióból elloptam, de a párom jól tud angolul, így a receptjeidet, ami nagyon tetszik lefordítja nekem.
ReplyDeleteOh, you poor thing!!! But you do have pretty toes :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you heal quickly, my friend...till then, keep your foot up, eat simply, and feel better.
PS...I have had those embarrassing moments, too...I turn as red as a beet!
So sorry for your accident Elisabeth! I hope you will recover soon. I can see that you have people around you who love you and support you!
ReplyDeleteElisabeth,
ReplyDeleteTake it easy with your ankle. You are very fortunate to have such wonderful children, that bring you wonderful goodies:)
Thank you so much for the shout out about the bake sale. I can't thank you enough for all of your help and support. Together we can make the bake sale a success.
Csodás tálalás, és remek étel. Kedvelem a halat, és ez így jó ahogy van.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, sounds (and looks!) like you too quite a spill and a painful one at that. I hope you are feeling a bit better by now!
ReplyDeleteOh no you poor thing. I hope you get well soon. I know Becky really appreciates all the hard work everyone is doing. I'm hoping you are bake on your feet soon, gets some rest.

Hi Elisabeth, I just wanted to see if you'd like a Babble badge for Readers' Choice award to put on your blog as people have nominated it for Babble's best food mom blogs of 2011. If you're interested, please email me at: hannah at babble dot com.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Hannah
Oh Elisabeth, I'm so sorry to hear you fell and hurt your ankle. A sprain can be just as painful as a break. Just try and take it easy for a few days. Sending lots and lots of healing vibes your way :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are part of the baking sale as well. Such a great cause and I know a very dear one to your heart as well. Hopefully we can raise lots of money and make a difference :o)
If you'd live closer...I'd lend you my orthopedic boot from 2yrs. ago...a sprain I got running after my dog when he'd gone to do his business in the wrong place!
ReplyDeleteSuggestion: Don't rush the healing process...that was my mistake...and then I was in for more trouble than I expected.
The sea bass looks very appetizing. How nice that your family helps out the way they do ;o)
Hope you get better soon,
Claudia
Dear Elisabeth, I hope that you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteThe striped bass is one of my favorite fish dishes and your version looks delish!
Blessings, Catherine xo
What a lovely dish....and what rotten luck with your ankle! So sorry! I know first hand how much that can hurt :(
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at the Hearth and Soul Hop :)
I'm so sorry to hear about your ankle. Get well soon! That was nice of them to bring food to you... it sure does look great.
