STORM2K

This morning I had a bit of a hurtful moment lol..

I was helping put groceries away for the people I'm staying with.. Well apparently the woman there wanted to get rid of some frozen hamburgers..

She dropped 1 on my toe on my left foot!

I checked.. it's a little red.. but I don't believe it's swollen..

Ouch, I have dropped one of those frozen water containers you put in coolers on my foot before. Stuff like that hurts!!

Ouch!!! I'm sure we've all done something like that that at some point or another, but it doesn't make it any less painful!

I'm a clutz, spraining my ankles a lot. 10 years ago a sprain was actually a fracture, needed a cast after it didn't quite heal after 10 days....my last ankle sprain was 3 months ago, while walking the dog. And I vowed it would be last. Then a month ago I dropped a plate on my foot, one toe turned black and blue. I thought oh no, here we go again. How can something so small hurt so much? It wasn't broken, but I know how ya feel John. Ice and elevate it if it's still painful. Try to not re-bump it, on a doorway or getting in and out of bed. My youngest daughter has had 3 fractures and between the two of us, I don't know who's more accident prone - her or I? Sometimes I just say you know what I'm going to sit here and not budge. Steps are my downfall, so now I go down them very slowly. Be nice now now, I'm not ready for that nursing home yet.....you should see me in an ice storm! I do not trust a sidewalk, I will go way out of my way, on grass and ground before I ever attempt a smooth surface. My kids die laughing but since I can turn my ankles easily, I'm most of the time careful about where I walk now.

Hope ya feel better soon.

You could have left it on your foot to take down the swelling....
