My daughter is in a Orchestra and every friday evening from 8 to 9 they have rehersals in a auditorum in one of the schools here. She was on the way there with hubby and she was telling all the gossip of the day from the school and she didn't notice a small hole on the road and she fell down and Sprained her ankle, still she did the rehersal, came home with pain and I gave her a painkiller and saturday morning took her to our GP and ofcourse had to go for X ray and now she is waling with crutches, well it is only for a week then she can remove the bandage.
And at the moment we call her SKIPNDER as she is skipping like the Kangaroo skippy ;-)
Saturday it was Annual day of the Music Academy, were she learns violin and she had to perfomr 2 pieces and poor thing was hopping in the stage with her crutches.
With her black drees and to her horror she had to wear those easy summer shoes, and she was moaning about wearing a slipper for easy walking with a frock.
