I said ^%$@#%$&#, Then I cried. Then I passed out

[GreenPartyVoter]

All because I dropped a large can of spaghetti sauce on the top of my bare foot. :blush:

I don't think anything is broken, but my middle toes are all numb and there is a swollen semi-circle shaped bruise where I got hit by the bottom edge of the can.

Fun, fun, fun!

1. wow, you actually passed out?

sorry about that. :hug: hope your toes are feeling better soon.

I guess you could say that was some SOLE food, eh?

yuk, yuk, yuk....





:hide:

3. I went all woozy and dark a couple of times, yeah, but I fixed it by

lying down on the couch and putting my feet up. (With a bag of frozen corn on my boo-boo. LOL)

8. poor baby.

there, there.... (pats head)

[GreenPartyVoter]

11. LOL "Fank 'oo"

[DarkTirade]

2. Owch.

It's funny how the most important bits of our bodies seem to be the most fragile. :\

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. I was very worried about it being broken because those bones are so

delicate looking. But I can walk and everything so I must be ok.

[DarkTirade]

5. Yeah, I had a similar fear a while back

when I was trying to practice right turns on ice skates. I got into a fight with gravity halfway through... and gravity won. Smacked chin-first with all my weight behind it right on the ice. For a moment I was afraid I might have broken my chin... then I realized that I was capable of saying 'Ow', so I knew it couldn't be broken.

Sore as hell for a couple days though. :P

[GreenPartyVoter]

6. ooh! *wincing* that is bad

[DarkTirade]

7. It actually hurt more at the hinge of the jaw

and I was worried I might have damaged something there. The point of the jaw where it hit had a nasty bruise, but that only hurt when I touched it.

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. Yeah, that would have been very bad to mess up your jaw

[skygazer]

9. Sometimes it works the other way

I once fell off a horse on my butt and figured I must have bruised my tailbone because it hurt like crazy but I could still walk and function.

Turns out I'd broken my back. :wow:

Hope you're okay. :hug:

[GreenPartyVoter]

10. Oh, I have landed on my butt and messed up my tailbone. Also no fun but how

did you break your back doing it?? Are you ok now?

[skygazer]

12. Apparently, my spine compressed and caused a fracture

The only reason I went to the ER was because I figured they'd give me some good pain pills. :shrug:

All fine now - that was 9 years ago and it healed beautifully. Be good to your tootsie. :hi:

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. Yeah, I did mine in running for the bus to an away game. Went down on my fanny and slid partly under

the bus steps. Needless to say, I was verrry uncomfy on that ride and cheering wasn't much fun either.

[yellowdogintexas]

15. hey a bottle of shampoo falling on my foot in the shower cracked the big

joint at the base of the big toe. Healed badly and then I reinjured it..and had to have my foot splinted so just keep an eye on it. RICE good treatment, Rest, Ice, Compression (if you did, if not,oh well) and Elevation

[GreenPartyVoter]

16. Dang! Shampoo did that? I will definitely keep an eye on it then

[Skittles]

17. you made me think of Edna

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. Yeah, that was me, except my housecoat is a darker blue. LOL

[zanne]

19. I've had several broken toes...

Sometimes it's hard to tell if they're broken. I went to the ER the first time, but all they did was tape the broken toe to the next toe. Then they said "you can walk on it". Ouch.

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. My foot is swollen abit this moring and hard to move in some directions due to stiffness. But so far

it looks like I will live. :D
