Please don't. It was purely an accident. The only reason everything broke so
badly was I twisted while falling down to make sure my son didn't get injured
(by me landing on him), and an old metal tool box filled with what I can only
imagine as solid iron ore, fell on my leg. I have already chalked it up to "just
one of those things...".

Once all the healing is done I should have all the mobility I had before. The
only difference is one ankle will look thicker than the other. The doctor told
me that even though everything broke "badly" it broke "clean". Nothing broke the
skin, so in some regards I was umm.. lucky.. (YEAH RIGHT!)

If I only remembered to get them one time when my kids weren't with me, it
_might_ not have happened. Then again I have hurt myself in MANY more
embarrassing ways. I have fallen off roofs, ladders, jumped out the bed of a
moving truck, been double bounced off a trampoline onto a fence...

This would have happened just because I woke up :)

Both are actually very nice.

You don't have to purchase them. In fact I suddenly have some unscheduled free
time on my hands and I may just play with a little. :)
