Hi Boo, sorry to hear about your feet.
I thought i would write some spooky black humour involving my health and Jack, the Halloween Pumpkin King who tried to steal Christmas, this is a true story!
On Halloween 2016, i was making my own steak burgers in preparation of my mothers 89th birthday party, my mother was helping me mix up the meat, therefore i said it was apt that we had blood all up our arms on Halloween! Sadly a few minutes later my mother fainted, fell on the hard floor and badly broke her ankle, which needed pins and an operation, i nursed her for six weeks apart from washing her.
On Halloween 2017, i bought a plastic pumpkin and skeleton to place outside our house, so the local children would call, trick or treating. In between then and Christmas, i found a discarded, broken Little Tikes plastic summer house, that i painted like a Christmas Grotto, and thought i would put a large Christmas display outside my house for last Christmas, even though it was tough as i was disabled.
I thought also i would try something different, may be make a Grinch, but it was too difficult, so eventually i took the plastic pumpkin, made a hole underneath, took the skull off the skeleton, and put the two together, i painted the new head white and black, and ended up with Jack the Pumpkin King, however it did feel like making a voodoo doll, it was a bit scary! I then made a sign writing "Nightmare before Christmas", it was then ready to go in the front garden sitting on a white plastic stool!
On 7th January 2018 i was taking the decorations down, i took the plastic stool that Jack was sitting on inside to wash, but without thinking i sat on it which split the stool and i ended up on the floor with spinal fluid oozing out, breaking my spine and ending up with paraplegia!
The Moral of the real story is "Don't Mess with Jack the Pumpkin King" or he will get you LOL! Being in a temp. nursing home i only found out a few weeks ago that the Jack i built was still stored in the house EEKK! I told my mother to put it in the rubbish bin, i don't like Jack, EVIL CACKLE!
