a little glimpse of me

February 20, 2004

toe, no!

We got back from Boston (details about that to come later, when vacation is over and my life is once again my own) yesterday at about 3:00. By 3:30, I had walked into a chair leg so hard that I am reasonably certain that I broke the fourth toe on my right foot. Now, nearly 24 hours later, it's become a veritable rainbow of a hematoma, has swollen like one of the Queen's sausage rools, and remains excruciating.

As you gaze upon the stunning lividity of the bruise, please be kind enough to realize that I was not expecting to share photographs of my feet this week, and skip the comments about the raggedy state of my pedicure.

In other words: sympathy comments only, thank you.

I feel your pain. All I can say is "Ice Ice Baby". And then tape it to the bigger toe.

Stop picking your toe nails!

Sorry. I didn't read down to the sympathy plea. Oh, there, there! Your toe will feel better in a while. At least it isn't the writing toe.

I broke my big toe just three days before we (Terry and I for those of you not in the know) left for our 5 week tour of Israel. I have felt your pain.
