Ouch!


I think I broke my toe L

I was visiting a friend on the 17th to help him do a map project with some other volunteers. I remember John telling Carly to watch out for the concrete lip because everyone trips on it. At the time I couldn’t figure out what concrete lip he was talking about.


Guess what? I found it.


I was walking to the bathroom, which was not connected to his house, around 3am. My foot located the mystery 'lip', a bit of concrete on the sidewalk an inch or two higher than the rest. I was doing a quick shuffle back to the house in my flip flops so my big toe hit the concrete full on.


I couldn’t put my shoes on for about 3 days. It still hurts, almost two weeks later, which leads me to assume that its broken not just badly jammed. Also, I have a tendency of ramming it against the legs of my table, which I don't think is going to help the healing process.


(My toe all bandaged up. I've finally gotten used to wearing my flip flops in between the wrong toes )


Granted there isn't really anything to be done about it, but still...no fun

..AND I think that John should find glow in the dark paint and mark the lip, just to help point it out in the future.
