Sigh. Yes, I'm afraid so. About 2 years ago, it was the very first broken bone I ever had in my life and I was quite the tomboy when I was a kid. I wish I could say I was doing something fabulous like a triple-whatever jump but no, I was working on a spin. My toepick caught the ice and down I went. I must have "landed" in just the right way to break the bone. And to make matters worse, this was right around Thanksgiving so I spent the whole holiday season in a lovely purple cast. But in spite of the injuries (and I've been racking them up lately), I still love to skate. It's joy to me.
