nebuliaSo, guess what I did today in swimming?
That's right, I broke my toe.
It's the second one on my right foot. I have really ugly, short, stubby toes (and little to no toenails), and the big toe is like six times the width and considerably longer than any of the other. But now my second tow is longer than the first and instead of being like five times skinnier, it's roughly the same size as my big toe. It's also a nice purple color. Actually, the bottom half is purple, the third quarter of it is red, and the top is really pale.
Anywho, I'm kind of surprised. I mean, I was diving off the side of the pool and I slipped and it just kinda...cracked or something. It hurt really bad, and then it kind of faded, and after that 50 I was like, "Oh, okay, it's fine."
Two 50s later I was like, "Hoshitithurts." I finished the last half hour of practice, though, because I've got a meet tomorrow, but it was like I could feel it swelling. I mean, it just hurt worse and worse as practice went on, and when it was done, I had two big toes.
Still not as bad as that skiing accident in Utah when I bruised all the bones in my thumb and sprained both joints, though. Even walking is less painful than that was. Just thinking about that makes my thumb hurt.
I'm kind of surprised, because it's such a little thing. I mean, I have toes of steel. Both feet have been stepped on by horses more times than I would like to count, I have slammed toes in car doors at least four separate times in my memory(two of those times were in ballet slippers and once I was barefoot), and my feet have been run over by cars twice, once while I was in stocking feet, once while I was in a pair of ratty tennis shoes with my toes and heels sticking out. I mean, my mom can stub her toe and it'll swell up like a balloon. Somebody can drop four textbooks on mine and then put it through a food processor and it'll be fine.
But no, it's definitely not fine.
I'll ice it and tape it and stuff; I mean, what's a doctor gonna do other than that? I've got plenty of tylenol on hand; I'll be fine.
But it does hurt...*sigh*
nebulia out.
