I was reminded of an old story today in a horribly unpleasant way.
Lets start with the old story.
So on my birthday, my friends Shannon and Lily had come to my house while I was sleeping and woken me up in the morning (with donuts :D). We pretty much just hung out the rest of the day in a lazy weekend sort of way. Then on Shannon's birthday, me and Lily made 13 laminated signs of weird pictures of Shannon, and we pulled an all-nighter and put them on her lawn in the middle of the night. Then, on Lily's birthday, Shannon and I pulled an all-nighter decorating 13 stuffed monkeys with Lily's favorite stuff, and then we strung them up in her yard at 5:00 in the morning. That was all fun and everything, but the part that I always leave out is the fact that the night before Lily's birthday, I broke my toe. On a chair. I was feeling really spazy since I had been up all night and I guess I was acting recklessly. I was, like, rushing to the cabinets to get the scissors, and WHAM I stubbed my toe in the worst way possible. The problem was, this was at about 4:00 in the morning, so there was nothing I could really do about it except put ice on it. When my mom woke up in the morning, I told her I broke my toe and she was like "okay, well its 5:00, I'm not taking you to the hospital now!" Sorry Mom, but that didn't help much. I could not walk up the stairs. It hurt for like four or five months after that.
I was reminded of this story today because about 5 minutes ago, I broke my toe. On a chair. Again. The worst thing about a broken toe is that it hurts a lot, but not enough to, like, do anything serious about. It doesn't hurt enough to have to talk to a doctor about, but it hurts enough that I can't do anything fun that involves running. Or walking. Or standing. Gaahghag this is soo annoying! I'll forget about it and then step on something and hurt it all over again! If you've ever had a broken toe or broken bone or overall horrible injury experience, tell about it in the comments!
