Whoa, Marci!  You broke your own foot with the other foot?  I'm not quite in your league, but after we remodeled the bathroom and moved the shower, I walked into the glass shower door when I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.  I am very glad I didn't break the $$$$$shower door, but I got a black eye and a goose egg on my forehead.  :P

My surgery is 12/10.  I am starting to get crazy about getting everything done before then.

Maggie,
My story is embarrassing, yours is frightening!  Good thing you had just minor injuries. 

I worried a lot about getting stuff done before surgery; my house was at its cleanest, my sofa pillows the straightest but those were the only things I could control at the time.  Worked for me!

Hi Marci,
I haven't looked at this thread in a while and just read about you breaking your foot in dance class by stepping on it with your other foot.  That sounds like something I would do!    :D  It's nice to know there are other  people out there who are just as graceful as I am!!  :D :D :D :D :D  I'm sure it hurt a lot, but I'm equally sure that when you look back at it, the idea of having done this to yourself give you a good laugh!

Best wishes from one klutz to another,
Wendy
