ouch

I've been meaning to post pictures from our trip to California. We got back on Sunday night, and the plan was to post today or tomorrow. But that hasn't happened yet, and it probably won't for a few days. I'm using our laptop which is old and decrepit because it hurts to walk to the regular computer. Why does it hurt, you ask? Because I have a fracture to my fifth proximal phalanx. In layman's terms, I broke my pinky toe.

How did I manage such a feat, you may wonder? I stubbed it on the corner of the wall while trying to get to Eva because she was crying. The sound of a toe breaking is a special sound. I've never broken a bone before, but I knew it was broken as soon as it happened.

I'll be posting pictures from California soon, but until then, enjoy these pictures from today. Or don't look... I understand it's kinda gross.

Normally my pinky toe lines up with all my other toes.

The arrow is pointing at the break.

I drew a line over the break for your viewing pleasure.

The doctor at the Instacare laughed when I told him I wanted a picture of my x-rays for my blog.

For those who are still reading... no cast, just "buddy taping" where they taped my pinky toe to the next toe. 2-4 weeks of that, and then hopefully it will be nearly healed. The doctor did say it will probably hurt for about a week. Too bad the only thing he told me to take was tylenol and ibprofen... it's not doing much for me.
