I broke my leg late Tuesday afternoon. A spiral fracture of the right distal tibia, to be exact. It kinda sucks. I was turning around in my apartment, caught my right foot on a table, which caused me to spasm and really wrench the foot/angle/leg, snapping my leg. Ow.
Not sure about treatment just yet. I'm splinted up. It's a little scary if I think about it.

Holy Bone Fractures Batman--I hope it is less instead of more trouble. You have had your share for the year!
I'm so very sorry to read this. I hope the treatment isn't too miserable and that you indulge in many treats until you're on the mend.

Sorry, but spiral fractures are gross. I saw one on an x-ray once and, well, yuck.
speed heal, would 'ya. Otherwise, you is gonna have some 'splainin to do on book tour.

Sorry, Paul. I hope it heals quickly and painlessly.
I read about your accident with horror. Someone asked me who my favorite poet was. I didn't hesitate to say Paul Guest. Be well.
Really sorry to hear this - hope you heal quickly. On the plus side, I got an Amazon notice this week telling me your book is shipping earlier than expected, by about a week I think?
Great blog...Anyway, get well soon.
