accidentally kicked a small metal waste basket exactly the wrong way, and fractured my right pinky toe.

I took a picture of my toe, with the bruising, but i warn you, it’s toes! Toes are ugly, and mine are no exception. You are forewarned!

It hurts alot when weight is put on it, so I am using a cane, and working from home. The problem with working from home, is that I am so tempted to do laundry, dishes, pick up around the house… I’m supposed to be keeping the foot elevated and staying off it!

Here’s V’s description of the incident:

so we were playing pixel junk monsters on the PS3. it’s a tower defense game where we play on the same team against these cute cartoonish monsters to save our “flock.” we can only put a tower where there’s a tree and so joe yells “put a tower on that tree!” (there’s LOTS of trees… i ask which one) and in his enthusiasm to save our flock, i gets up to point out which tree on the tv, but didn’t realize we moved the trash can… he totally kicks it at full speed. *THUD* yesterday, he woke up and it was completely swollen and purple. the dr. took an xray and yup, fracture. taped it up real good and said wear hard soled shoes.

so ya, long story short… he got hurt playing a video game and it wasn’t a Wii!!! LOL…
