Sooooo Friday night DH and i went to the Iowa Hawkeyes basketball game
here in Iowa City.  It was a damp and rainy night.  We were walking to
the bus and cut across the damp grass covered with wet leaves.  DH
went down a steepish slope, so I was smart and walked around to a
flatter spot....and fell down!!  Sit down.....I broke my leg in three
places!!  A tib/fib fracture like DD did a couple years ago!!  Instead
of surgery, they casted me from my toenails to my crotch!  It was sooo
heavy i COULD not budge it even an inch!!  Which means I couldn't plan
to go home...let alone to any WEDDINGS!!!!  OMG!  Today they did a
surgery to put an rod and screws in my tibia.  Right now I'm all
drugged up on morphine and using a laptop checked out from the
hospital library.  So ploease excuse any typos you find. I still can't
believe this has happened two weeks before our son's wedding!!!!  I'm
glad I had one outfit planned. It will probably be THE wedding
outfit.  I just hit my pain pump again.....see you later!

Certainly not to the same level but it reminds me of my grandmother.
She broke her foot a couple of weeks before my cousin's wedding.
Refused to go the hospital or doctor. Had the dress and shoes.
Silver strappy shoes. We had to cut her shoe apart and duct tape it
to her foot. My brothers were her crutches. 'The grandmother of the
bride is NOT walking down the aisle on crutches!'

I'm with Leslie. Go with the wheelchair decked out to the max!
Coordinate with your outfit.

Heal soon.
