Thank you for the kind words. The ankle thing has shaped my life and capabilities in ways I never would have guessed ever since it happened.

I have a now-five year old whom it has also clearly influenced and I feel bad about causing them trauma. You wouldn't believe how many of their stuffed animals have also suffered broken ankles or legs since I did.
