I'm so sorry. You have nothing to be embarrassed about, though I know that's easier said than done. I hope you find peace and ways to move joyfully that make you feel good.

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.
