I broke my ankle!

RobinB · July 3, 2014

Two weekends ago I was stepping up into our one large (12' x 12') raised bed and fell. I messed up the ligaments and fractured my ankle right at the joint. I'm not sure how it happened, I've stepped up there bazillions of times! This is making everything extra challenging, and the worst part is I can't drive! In my garden everything is in raised beds, most are 4' x 4'. It's still too early to be walking much on it, so DH is out there watering for me every morning (bless him!) I hobble around in the late afternoon looking around as best I can before I have to go sit down again, and it's making it hard to keep up with everything. I've got a LOT of dwarves growing for the Dwarf Tomato Project and I'm not able to watch them as closely as I would like... It will get better, but it looks like my entire July will be in this stupid cast. Sigh.
