I made the unfortunate goof move of getting my bare feet caught up in the down comforter that had partially slid off the bed. The material lashed itself around my right foot in a peculiar way, while my left foot provided the firm anchor to send me careening down. All of my body weight mysterious wound up focused on the big toe of my right foot. SNAP, CRACK!
Yeah, I heard a loud snap of a sound come from that foot. I knew immediately that this wasn't good. Of all the times I've ever tripped in my life, I'd never experienced anything like this before. Had my foot been sheathed in a slipper or shoe, I very likely wouldn't have suffered any trauma.
But no... life has so many lessons to teach, when you least expect it.
THANKFULLY, no other more serious injuries occurred. I knew of someone who once tripped and smacked their head on a hard bureau,
cracking their skull. Unfortunately nobody else was home. Eventually a room-mate came in many hours later, finding him unconscious on the floor in a pool of blood. He was lucky to survive this, but unfortunately suffered lasting effects from the experience. SO... I know I got off easy in comparison.
The toe does not appear to be broken, but the nail has had it. It is raised up on the nail bed side and still seeping blood 6 hours later. It has kept bleeding, because I periodically move it, checking for signs of the pain and injury associated with a broken toe. Luckily the toe has not become swollen or shown signs of it being broken. I lost my health insurance because I've been laid off for almost two years, so I'm not exactly eager to visit a health clinic if I can avoid it...
Not sure how I'm going to sleep on this thing. I hate sleeping on my back. But I guess I have little choice.
Anybody here ever experience a similar kind of injury?
lol.
I named her Zaena, after my Death Knight.
