An Ow Post
A couple of weeks ago, my chair collapsed. Just like that. One minute I was just sitting at my computer, RPing at a CoH beach party, and the next I'm sprawled on the floor with my head against the door and my right foot bent in an interesting position. One of the chair legs had just... snapped off, with no warning whatsoever.
I was okay though (or so it seemed) and so after the initial shock I picked myself up, called Nick and took the other chair from downstairs. And all was well.
Except...
Since then the last two toes on my right foot have been hurting. They're not bruised, but they hurt like they are, and it's been gradually been getting worse as things have gone on. Yesterday evening I started to harbour the suspicion that I might have broken one or both of the toes and just not have noticed (this is actually depressingly normal for me, as over the course of my life I've broken nearly every one of my toes - some of them twice).
The problem here is that, because of whatever I've done to my toes, I've been unconsciously compensating for them since then. And today it's gotten to the point where it's very painful to put any weight on my right foot - when I do, I get stabbing, shooting pains right in the ball-and-socket joint that connects foot and ankle.
Crap.
