We all need to take a minute .. or a day or two to get real about our living situations for the days ahead. With this piece you take us there. Looking at your kitchen from the floor with a broken limb! This happens everyday to many people. We all can take a lesson from your stoic humor about how to rise above it and get real about making our future lives easier.

Clever pov of your story and photo! Sorry it involved a broken bone. The poignant tale of your mother and the potatoes tugged at my heart strings

I am sorry about your fracture. That is no fun, but you managed to turn a negative into a positive with this thoughtful piece.

Thanks Vicki. I'm a notorious klutz so I have it down. It's forcing me to do nothing!
