just call me a gimp (and an idiot)

so the other morning i woke up after a night of horrible sleep, staggered to the bathroom and apparently my depth perception was totally off because i whacked my pinky toe right into the corner of the door. no… i didn’t necessarily run into the door, but rather just side-swiped, which isn’t really much better or less idiotic. now i have done this before but this time it was bad… so bad that i fell to the floor in pain and laid there for a while LOL. i have been feeling really dizzy occasionally recently which may have contributed, which i also don’t know the cause of. so i thought that this toe jamming would have been like all the others… and the pain would simply go away in due time. i was definitely wrong! it hurt like hell to walk all day long and the pain never really subsided, and it actually became quite swollen.

i didn’t think it was broken since it was not purple or blue, nor was the toe really looking dislocated. figured it was just severely jammed. and of course i am not going to the doctor for a jammed (or even broken) pinky toe… for one i don’t have health insurance and secondly, i am not paying them money for something i can simply do at home. all they’re going to do or tell me to do is keep it elevated, put ice on it and stay off of it as much as possible. so i did that throughout the day. the next morning i woke up, about fell to the floor in pain when trying to stand and realized my toe was pretty damn purple, still swollen and the swelling has spread farther up my foot to other tendons that must have also been sprained from the impact. so much is the same today… purple, swollen and painful. oh well, i guess that’s what i get for being an idiot!
