Jim,
that's why I never go out when there's ice on the ground. Of course, there hasn't been ice on the ground here in Orlando in about 20 years

. Believe me, that is one thing I do NOT miss from my 40+ years of living in New England.
Sorry to hear about the injury but glad it isn't apparently anything too serious. Actually the scariest part about that post was seeing that you went to the ER. And you survived! Thank goodness!! Heal fast.
Jim
