Ankle Update
At breakfast yesterday, I started drawing and when I got home, I got a little carried away colouring it. Now that the plastered left ankle has got arms and a face (on the half-sock I was wearing#), I think perhaps I ought to give it a name!
What seemed like a little accident at tennis was more serious than I suspected. I was sent to the hospital by my GP to get my leg plastered. My bone was fractured and hopefully it heals well, and that I will not need an operation to place a metal plate inside :(. I will know in a few days time when I next visit the hospital .
#I now wear a half-sock on one foot – very unattractive. The plaster does not cover my toes and they get a bit cold. Unfortunately not even my largest sock is able to cover the plaster so I have to make do with a half-sock.

aw, you poor thing Evelyn :(
I hope so much that your leg heals quickly and there are no complications whatsoever
it must be so very uncomfortable and inconvenient…i hope you can take the opportunity to get plenty of rest and creative inspiration! when i broke my arm, i kept a vis arts diary and transferred all my creative thoughts and juices into it, so that when i was well again I could have a storehouse of ideas to refer to…....take care, and take it easy,.....hugz Karin xo

Thanks Karin
It’s like a real heavy boot that I cannot take off, and cannot step on :(. Drawing and getting on the computer is about all I can do comfortably… that’s a good thing I think.
Thanks again :D
