You still sound funny to me as you describe the whole happening and also all the thoughts running through your mind. I applaud for you @papacrusher that indeed you have held your cool and did all this with grace :)
Healing and speedy recovery for your wife's ankle.
This is an excellent attitude and I'm learning this from you:
Maybe, I just needed reminding how easy my life is to be able to drive to an over-packed store, full of goods I don't really need, and pay for them without worrying if it is going to be may last meal for many days. I am exceedingly blessed and I never, ever want to take that for granted. People would sell their souls to experience what we consider a "bad" day in the first world realm.
Thank you for the comment. If you can't laugh at yourself and difficult situations you are in for a long hard time.
