haste makes waste

if you look closely at the pinky toe --you can see a big line on the bottom half of the toe--that is the break

this is just showing the swelling--and yikes dry feet I guess

this is just to show the bruising the days following

yes that old cliche is true..I've said it --I believe it and yet I rush and rush until life's no fun  Like that old country song lyrics....so I was rushing and not watching and carrying some clothes in my arms so that my sight of things below my waist was limited...I forgot I had to walk around a piece of furniture we were moving around and I stubbed my toe and dislocated the bone so it was it a weird position and Stephen came to my rescue and deadened it and put it back into the right position.  without him I was sunk  thanks much -Stephen  I owe you a pie or some treat--you are very good at being a dr and I so appreciated you help last Sat.  so now with all that said ..I post a  pic for sympathy --Just kidding  I've gotten lots of that.

hard to tell from the picture but I am not holding my pinky toe like that--is is just bent that way..from stubbing it.

--The touching  part of this story is:  dad put up the tree, cleaned the house, the kids and dad cleaned up after gingerbread houses, dad put the lights on the tree and cooked and got up at 5:30 am and put a roast in the croak pot on sunday before he left for 6am meetings --he went Christmas shopping for all the married kids and did all the holiday preparations pretty much single handily and I love him for it.  all the while I was watching him work and reading a book.  He is so good to me....so the moral of the story =-==don't stub your toe....(:   and if you do --better be married to a great guy like I am.
