Helping a freind set up her kids Bunk and stubbed my index toe on her kitchen table while have a break to eat. this was the result. I didn't even swear, though I could have filled the jar, She was like "Bill that's gross"
That happened to me a couple months back. Took a long time before the coloring was right again. Accidents happen, and unless your friend wants to amputate maybe she should be thanking you for helping her instead of commenting on how gross your foot that your hurt helping her is. Hope it heals quick!
Two words: Shoes. Always. In my younger years I banged my feet on things, stepped in pet "gifts," dropped things on my toes, etc. so many times that I finally learned that shoes are my friends. And that's just at home. At work I wear steel toed boots.
I have a photo of my big toe, with the toe nail removed (don't worry, I won't post it!). Why? Because I fell in a most peculiar circumstance whereby I couldn't change my direction and hyper-extended my toe, effectively snapping off the nail at the nail bed. Needless to say, it was like someone took a hatchet and removed my toe, and no anesthetic applied just prior. It hurt like hell to the point I nearly threw up. I'm only saying this as a kind of... "could have been worse". Anyway, be thankful it wasn't!!
she feels bad about it, I said don't worry I should have been more careful, plus the hugs I got were worth it. and the bruise cover just over a 1/3 of the toe now.
I once tore off my big toenail on a floor tile. It was gruesome at first but it healed quickly. Oh agony!
I've never heard anyone refer to their second toe as an "index toe" before. Do you use it to point to things? Welcome to the Social Networking Age!
