...I appear to have broken a toe on my left foot; the one next to my pinkie toe to be precise.

I thought I had just slammed it a little hard into a brick this morning--it was one of those "OW, damnit!!" moments, but it didn't really hurt afterward. There were the beginnings of a bruise on the joint, but I put on my shoes and socks and went off to the coin show* and then the grocery store and then I found OMG PIE and I came home to update my character sheet and do other things. It was giving me twinges but I didn't think much about it.

When I took off my socks it was solid purple from just below the nail to below the joint. It wiggled funny when I poked at it (of course I poked at it!) but no real pain. Kind of numb, actually. Texted my-brother-the-doctor and he said there wasn't much to be done.

So now I have a semi-bum knee on my right leg and a broken toe on my left foot. FML. We'll see how it feels tomorrow, as I'm planning on getting up kinda early to go into the workshop.


* Though I did restrain myself at the coin show and only got the really cool stuff. The dealer I'm used to buying literally a pound of international coins from is no longer doing shows, so I'll probably have to go to Houston at some point to restock. The local vendors just don't have the selection for the price--at least the ones I've been dealing with. Also, if you ever want to hear wacky right-wing rants, there is no need to go to a gun show. Just listen to the old farts at a coin show.
