nikki hasn't broken her ankle, she's just sprained it, so that's good. that is, it's good that she didn't break it. that would have been bad. i don't know why she keeps hurting herself though. i'm almost as much of a clutz as her, maybe even more, but i've never even sprained anything. i get plenty of bruises and cuts, but i've never sprained anything and i've never broken a bone. i've never used crutches or been in a cast or needed stitches or needed physical therapy or needed x-rays or gone to the doctor for anything more serious than, say, a check-up to see if i had any skin cancer looking things. and i'm always tripping over things and falling down and running into things or swinging various body parts into the wall. heh. but nikki keeps getting hospitalized. or at any rate she gets crutches and casts and wraps and ice and elevator keys.
