Or at least it certainly feels like it.
Let me start at the beginning.
Two weekends ago, during a period of inebriation, I slipped on a wet floor and fell. It wasn’t until the next morning that I noticed my left pinky toe area was EXTREMELY bruised and painful to walk on. It has gotten better over time (the bruising is gone), but it is still somewhat painful and hard to walk on.
So what did I do this morning?
Of course, I rammed my right pinky toes into a door/door frame. The pain just about brought me to my knees—and it did bring tears to my eyes. I could barely put any pressure on it at all, but I managed to make it downstairs (carrying the dog, no less) and put a cold pack on it (which didn’t really seem to help at all). I hobbled around to finish getting ready, and it was extremely painful. By 9:30, it was very swollen and bruising nicely.
Although I’m sure it would have been much more painful, I would rather have crushed the same toes I did before, so at least I would have one good foot to walk on.
