I'm feeling old and brittle!

OK. We had our first softball game last Tuesday, the 12th. I have been so super-excited to play this year because Connie and I put a team together with a whole bunch of really fun girls. So our first game, I decide to slide at second base. It was the second time that night. And my right foot went over the top of the base, but my left foot hit the edge of the base and I felt AND heard a snap, and then pain! I knew it was broken. Luckily, Michelle, David and Jared were there and hauled me off the field and to the ER. I'm so sad that I won't be able to really play softball this year! Oh well. I'm sure I'll get caught up on the scrapbook and sewing again.
FYI
The doctor says I'm young and healthy, and if I'm careful for the next four weeks, I shouldn't need surgery. It's a "borderline break" meaning that I could easily bump it and cause it to shift resulting in the need for surgery. My fibula is broken in two places, diagonal breaks rather than straight across, which also makes for more chance of surgery. So I'm being careful!

Poor girl. I would probably loose my lunch if I heard one of my bones snap. Try to take it easy.
