Toe Update

Its been a week. The toe is coming along nicely - I can walk without a limp! But dancing on pointe is just out.

Below, toe after six days...Nilla was very sympathetic...either that or she was contemplating eating my feet.

Clumsy? Moi??

Oh I am a talented, talented soul....

I hurt my back at the gym last week. Just some muscular tightness - nothing major thank goodness - and in response finally invested in a heating pad. Ahhhh, heating pads....wonderful wonderful things.

Monday, as I was still suffering from the sore back, I decided to use the heating pad while working. Downstairs I went, got said heating pad and a cup of coffee and the, proceeded up the stairs. Not thinking too clearly (hey, I was CARRYING coffee, I hadnt DRANK the coffee), I did not make sure to lift the cord clear of my feet. You can probably guess what happened next....I tripped. At which point I kicked out my left foot to prevent a face plant into the stairs. And I stubbed my toe....uh....bad.

This is my toe after about 8 hours....

And after 24 hours...


The good news is that I saved my coffee in the fall. The bad news is that my running training is now on hold....:(
