Woe to the Toe

Friday July 1st 10 a.m.
Well, Charlie just left for North Platte, Nebraska. He is going to his sister's house to spend the night then on to Broken Bow for his 50th class reunion. The he will stay with her for the coming week until his family reuion in Broken Bow next weekend.
Normally I would be going, too. However; I have a broken toe which tripped me up last night and I hit the floor flat on my face ( right side chin and cheek, and jaw snapped side-ways.)
I have big bruises, swelling and look like I fought Mike Tyson.
To top it off I hurt my neck and back again, right knee is swollen and has a deep bruise, and battered my hands. I also sprained my jaw on the other side as it snapped sideways. so, I can't open wide! Soup and puddings are my friends.
All this wouldn't bother me so much but tomorrow ( the 2nd) is our 16th wedding anniversary and the 4th of July is special to me because it marks 33 yars since I moved to Colorado and celebrated my own independence day.
Charlie has been so sweet and so worried. I practically had to push him out the door.
We had planned for us to use the motorhome. He took it over for a loose belt yesterday and they found something else wrong ( with the steering) needed to order a part so Charlie will car camp in my SUV.
I have my little VW in case I feel like driving somewhere but I just realized I let the plates expire around Christmas!
I lead such a boring life.
I will be writing and judging contests and picking up the house as I feel like it. I hope I feel more like walking later in the week.
So happy 4th to all.

PS it's really hard to eat with a sore mouth and jaw. Kind of like after having a tooth pulled.
