To all of you who commented on my blog on Wednesday, many thanks.  I am getting around surprisingly well.  Despite the fact that I am bruised from head to toe...the WORST pain is coming from my little toe and the side of my foot.  I am off to work the next two days, will wear support stockings to help with the pain and will take medication before I leave for work.  It could have been SO MUCH WORSE.  

I love you all and I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate all of your support and love.
