Crutches

Yesterday I slipped when climbing down from my loft, and apparently pulled my Achille's tendon fairly badly. So I'm using crutches to get around today. Anyone who knows me well knows that it has to be really bad before I'll resort to crutches. I've been icing and resting it as much as possible, so I'm hopeful that it will heal before we go on vacation--the last thing I want is to be known as "gimpy" and not be able to do stuff with my cousins! :-) Unfortunately, I know from experience that tendons sometimes take quite a while to heal. Oh, well; guess that's just part of life.
