The Big Toe

It's a really important body part.

One that you don't know how much you need it till you can't use it.

I learned this the hard way this week when I hurt my left big toe rough housing with Dallin.

Hyperextension. A pop. Lots of pain. Immediate swelling and bruising. Lots of pain. Ice application. Lots of pain. Hobbling around like a gimp.  Did I mention lots of pain?

Even though I think feet are pretty sick, I'm bravely putting my very un-pedicured feet out there for all to see.

Day 1 - soon after the injury (it hurt soooo bad but doesn't even look that bad).  That night our doctor friend
examined it and said it's a bad sprain.  I thought I'd broken it, so I was relieved.

Day 2 - surprisingly it felt a little better and I got around with less hobbling.


Day 3 (today) - the camera didn't pick up the nice bruises on and all around the toe, but they're there.

Our feet can be friends. You should see the remains of my post-run blood blisters, or rather, maybe you shouldn't! ;) Hope you're feeling better!
