Flying is just a matter of hurling yourself at the earth -- and missing.
Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.
I may not be walking for the next few days. Did a spectacular wipe out on the wood floor at my one pooch-house just before I headed out. I went to scoot a toy with my foot for her to chase. I managed to avoid practically all injury despite looming corners (5 or so, it was a joint of two hallways and a room, small space there), a fake tree, landing on Gypsy, or smashing my head into anything. I actually had enough time to recognize I was going to fall hard and realize I was instinctually attempting to minimize the impact which is kinda neat to watch in a bizarre this-is-really-gonna-suck-when-I-fail-to-miss-the-ground way.
Unfortunately I somehow took all my weight on the toys of my left foot... they got entirely folded under, or smashed, or something and they're kinda throbby and swelling now. In Gypsy's regard at least she left the toy and immediately swarmed me to make sure I was okay. *awe, hugs for her!* ^_^
So I got the dog reassured, got everything closed up, walked home, and now I'm lounging with ice on it. I'm curious what the bruise is going to look like. Anyone know how to tell if toes are broken? I've heard its very hard to tell. :/
