I have to confess to what I did to myself August 15th. I tore all the ligaments in my left foot and broke a small bone behind the little toe. Talk about HURT! But the doctor said it was because of the ligaments, not the break because the minor break went right back in place after it broke. It was a little white line on the X-ray she almost missed. They stuck me in a foot brace and of course crutches again. But I am out of the brace now, occasionally need a cane outside on uneven grass surfaces (where I did all this stepping into a hole). But in the house its as good as new. It did put a squash on my shooting for a while. I guess the older I get the less I bend and bounce back from minor things.
