When Bad Things Happen to Good People



Confession: Madge has a great fondness when it comes to accompanying others to Urgent Care Centers or Emergency Rooms. Minor to major emergencies, triage, conversing with the doctors, looking at X-Rays...she adores it all! And yes, she'll take pictures of you and your injury. Don't judge!

Last evening, Jenny, being an extreme multitasker, took on too many tasks--and ended up giving a David Beckham-like kick to her bed post as she was in a towel folding frenzy.

After hobbling around the store today for a few hours (in one shoe mind you) the swelling because progressively worse, along with the pain, and it was decided that Urgent Care was needed.



Madge to the rescue--hey, that's what friends and business associates are for!

The injury started off as a broken toe and resulted in a broken metatarsal bone. The great news--Jenny will make a fully recovery in about a month and has been loaded up with pain medication. The bad news--she has to wear one of those God awful orthopedic shoes for the next month.





The question is...will Jenny's handicap give us an edge at next weeks apparel mart--front row seats to a fashion show? And can we bedazzle the dreadful orthopedic shoe to give it a bit of pizazz?

Feel better soon, Jenny! Keep that bad boy elevated and iced!
