***Announcement regarding the September Contest: Summer*** [View all]

I may have to postpone the opening of the September Contest: Summer.

I had a hard fall this morning (my right ankle turned under me, and I fell against a built-in bookcase).

I didn't break any bones but wow, this sucker hurts! I have spoken with my doctor and he advised me as to how to proceed, which I am doing.

I am applying an ice pack and carefully taking ibuprofen about every 6 hours. The pain has diminished some from this morning, but it's still there. My doctor told me that I will probably be sore for about 3 weeks. Oh goody!

Therefore, I may not feel up to posting dates and such tomorrow, which is what I'd planned. We shall see. I will start things up as soon as I am able. If not tomorrow, then most likely over the weekend.

I will get through this!
