Carolyn, I am so sorry that you are injured - I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Wow, the pics look so very painful. Hope you heal quickly. I hope the firefighters and first aid techs recognized your sense of style and told you how mighty fine you were looking.

I agree with the megansmommy about the crate rest.
