how the fuck did she manage to break both ankles?

World cup final was about to start and the bar we were sat outside was getting full of football hoons...
...so I dragged her for a sunday lunch in a quiet bar.

She slipped off her stupid heeled sandals and bounced down 1 or 2 steps into a heap. She wrapped it in ice and I had my meal.

Afterwards we walked 30 or 40 metres back towards the apartment before she collapsed as her right ankle 'felt all floppy'. We don't know whether the 2nd bone snapped as she was walking on it but I'm guessing that's what happened.

None of it hurt though - she's not got much sensitivity in her ankles due to previous surgery on a slipped disk in her lower back.

Fortunately the left leg was much less severe but it still a cast.

The floor she was on in hospital was full of women with broken feet/ankles - the pavements over there can be treacherous. This combined with inappropriate footwear/booze keeps the hospitals busy. To do 2 is rare as a lot of the nurses were pointing and saying 'both!'

i know what the pavements there are like
especially in the mornings. that's one of the reasons i never take heels with me when i go.
another reason is i just can't walk in the cunting things!
