Went out to help my wife in the garden thursday evening, she needed some 2' x2' concrete paving stones moved, picked up the first one and set it aside, grabbed the second one and dropped it on my big toe.

Ended up with 8 stitches in the end of my toe and a crush fracture in my toe bone,supposed to go to an orthopedic surgeon on monday. I'm going to opt out of surgery unless he tells me my toe will rot and fall off.

On the bright side my toes have the most beautiful shades of purple,blue and red i've ever seen and i get out of gardening work for the next few weeks :)

Oh Sure, you claim to have pretty toes and you expect us to believe it without photographic evidence. I bet you missed and you are just pretending so you won't be asked to pick up anything heavy again.

So the gravity is pretty good in your area?

So, were you wearing shoes at the time? How high was it when you dropped it? Got reflexes?

Yep. I'm jumping around cussing my head off and my wife says "Did you drop it on your foot?"..."No dear, i'm dancing with joy to be helping you out"

Aw c'mon, i feel dumb enough already.........my wife has reminded me several times that i should have moved my foot, she is a master of the obvious.

Not pretty yet but it will be in a few days. Next time try wearing your steel toed sandals, then you will miss completely. Rocks love to land on tiny soft things, its in their programming.
