Ouch! Abby has been sidelined...
Abby's early-summer plans have taken a major detour after breaking her ankle in a freak "wardrobe malfunction"...
Click the picture below for a larger version of her X-ray (after surgery):
It looks like she won't be able to make it to Nashville for the CMA Music Festival, but she is hoping to recover enough to make it to L.A. for the Kenny Chesney Concert.
Get better soon, baby!

Be sure to be checked for osteoporosis, a most likely diagnosis in view of the type of fracture.
Ask for a DEXA scan. Don't settle for anything less or cheaper as they are only screening tools, wherreas DEXA gives you the degreee of bone demineralization. If the T-score is lowere (under) -2.5, it's osteoporosis, and needs to be treated. If it's only a little higher, then you are headed for it.
Treatment and prevention must include 15oo mg of calcium and 800-1000 units vitamin d.
Strongly recommend this to you.
