A toe update:

Yesterday, instead of resting and taking it easy I was walking all over the place. I know, I know...not good for the swelling. I wasn't really walking, it was more of a wobble effect going on. I almost fell in the shower. I missed stepped and saw pain stars, but I was able to balance it out. :) I couldn't really move it because it was swollen, but I didn't want to either because every joint in my pinky toe hurts.

I had my father check out my toe and I described every painful detail of the event. The conclusion was that I definitely dislocated it and managed to pop it back into place in that one swift motion. I can laugh about it now, but if I really think about it the whole thing it makes my stomach curl and I have to close my eyes. Today, the toe is better. I can move it around more, but I still look retarded walking around. I tried to take a picture to capture the bruising. This is the best one:

If you look closely, you can tell that the bruising actually goes from the 3rd toe to the pinky toe end. Also, there's a small red dot on my pinky toe. That's complemets of a fire ant that bit me yesterday at my aunt's house. If there was any doubt about how jack'd up my toe is, now you know I was telling the truth.

Just in case, this isn't going to stop me from celebrating my birthday tomorrow. HELL NO! I'm just going to have to be extra careful that I don't get stepped on. It's a good challege. :)
