Yesterday was totally lame: E was on a tear and being outright defiant and even though he hasn’t had them in several weeks he had two accidents (one incredibly while he was sitting on my lap on our bed). And then I broke my little toe which was the icing on the cake.
It happened in such a embarrassingly stupid way, too. I answered the front door and side of my foot was underneath the edge of the door so when I went to walk away my toe got caught and bent back. I actually heard a “crack!” At first I thought it was just the knuckle popping but a few minutes later the discoloration and swelling (and pain!) started. I called my doctor and they said there wasn’t anything they could do and just to tape it to the toe next to it. So I taped it and dug out my bottle of mega-dose ibuprofen from when I had Mimi.
I know that in the grand scheme of things my problems aren’t bad at all (i.e. “white people problems”) but I can’t help but feel a little beat all the same.
I hope things go better today.
Ouch!!! I broke my little toe too (on my right foot). I didn't even know I broke it until a couple years ago when I realized it was super bent over compared to my left one! I think it's all those times I slammed my foot into the doorway. I guess I had a wide stride even back then.
Hope it stops hurting soon!!!!
Yes, first-world problems are ours. But I still sympathize for you and cleaning a peed-on bed with a broken toe straight up sucks. Nice that the dr. didn't make you come in though.
Days like that are the worst. I'm sorry about your toe. I don't think you actually realize how much you use your toes until one is broken. Hopefully your next few days will be better. Chocolate always helps.
Feel free to complain! Broken toes totally hurt even if they are tiny. Tomorrow will definitely be a better day. 🙂
Ouch. Ouch. OUCH! I hope the pain goes away super fast.
