For those of you eaten up with curiosity about my lame foot - I was coming out of the kitchen on Monday (after a 9 hour drive from Sacramento with a barfing 3 year old...) and i managed to kick the corner of the wall with my toe just perfectly. It made this noise like when you crack a glo-stick, and then my small toe was sticking out at a 90 degree angle from my foot.

Lovely.

And Karalenn's first concerned words? "did you get a picture?!" Thanks.

I went to the podiatrist yesterday, and he did some physical therapy on it and gave me a BIGGER, UGLIER shoe to wear and said that if I do therapy on it twice a week for two weeks I should be able to wear regular (closed toe) shoes after that.

I was coming out of the kitchen again today..... yeah.

good thing I was wearing the big ugly shoe, because I probably would have broken another toe.

*sigh*
