Restoration

By Sarah Coleman

In March of 2020, truly the very day the whole country shut down for covid, I traumatically broke my left leg after a dramatic encounter with a pigeon on a ladder. And I’m not talking like a cute little hairline fracture that put me in a fun purple cast making 3rd graders jealous of all the attention I was getting, broken. No, we’re talking tibia and fibula both shattered, emergency surgery, 4 days of antibiotics in the hospital, 4 months of no walking broken. I did still get my purple cast but it was a pandemic so there was no one around to admire it.
