OK -- so maybe age had nothing to do with it. Was walking, backwards, down our steps when I missed the last two. Went stumbling into the living room -- when I landed, it was all on my right big toe. I may have just lost over 17 lbs, but that is still alot of weight on one single toe. It bent as I landed and tore the skin where the nail meets the toe. Blood gushed (and I mean GUSHED) out -- I was so worried about bleeding on the carpet, that I jumped into the kitchen (not the smartest move ever). Slid a bit and whacked the toe again. So........................ broken toe! The doc said I needed to go to an ortho because the open wound complicates things. If I get an infection, it could get into the fracture.... blah, blah, blah. Well, I no longer need to worry about how I'm going to spend the rest of the money in Flexible Spending Acct by end of year. On hydro-codone for the pain and antibiotics to avoid infection. Thankfully I got most of Christmas shopping done this weekend.

uh... why?
Sweetums, you are not a 16yo ballerina anymore, so please cut the shenanigans out.
I'm really sorry about your toe, that's got to hurt like the dickens, I scream bloody hell whenever I stub my toes. Get well soon.

Well, we have a split level house and I walked up 3 steps (half way -ish) to toss something up toward the bedroom. Instead of turning around, I just stepped down the 1 step I thought I had climbed -- unfortunately there were 2 more. Truth be told, I was being piss-y at Sid -- he left his shoes in the middle of the floor (again....) and I was flinging them upstairs to him, while being not too nice about it. Guess karma bit my ass............ Although, in my defense, I hadn't had my coffee yet -- I can be a bit grumpy until I do.
Good thing I read that ballerina crack before bed and not in the morning -- before coffee. ;)

Then you broke your toe. I guess you showed him!!

You sure are breaking a lot of bones lately. Sorry to hear of it yet again. I'd have told Sid I tripped on his shoes and played it for all it's worth. ;D
