It is a written collage to remember and pay tribute to a fall on July 9, 2026, that broke my foot with two fractures.
THE WRITTEN COLLAGE; #1 of 30 in series, “Write The Broken Foot”
“Hey, why is your foot black?”
“I fell one level down onto the car porch roof and my foot was smashed. I have two lines of fracture. My entire foot is blue black with bruises.”
My hospital took X-rays of my foot. When I get a cheap light box, I’m going to take pics of my X-rays of my foot and post them here.
I have photos of my foot but they’re too grotesque to post them raw. I’m showing an outline of my foot.

This is Broken Foot’s new boot, named the Apollo Walker:

This Walker helps Foot to walk by cushioning the sole, to absorb the impact of the body weight on the Foot.
