Tip #2: Never break your leg on a long weekend May 31, 2006

Or, if you do, make sure you break it really, really well and need immediate emergency surgery. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy the view of the ceiling above your hospital bed. You'll be seeing a lot of it for at least the next 24 hours.
Whew! Are you ever right on this one! I broke my ankle on Saturday July 1, 2006 in the early afternoon. This being the first day in a four-day weekend here in the U.S. Yes, I enjoyed my ceiling (and my friend Mr. Morphine) for over 24 hours before surgery. Then they couldn’t get me outta there fast enough!
