And on a lighter note. . .

I have broken my toe.
On the weekend.
I only just finally noticed that it was all swollen up and black tonight. Right before class started so i had no time to splint it.
Seriously, I noticed it hurt a bit, but I failed to notice it was broken.
I rock, in the short bus way.

pain, aikido

need a nurse?

squid_pants September 14 2006, 14:57:20 UTC

Yes, yes I do.

OH NO!!!!!!
Will this affect your test?

Hope you recover soonest!

The last test I did with an injured thumb. Usually someone is testing with a broken toe each time, since you train so much harder right before. So, no worries.

linzq September 16 2006, 01:52:10 UTC

Ok, as long as it won't affect your test that's ok.
Hope you're not in too much pain.

I should be fine :)

That is a major owie. I hope it heals soon.

squid_pants September 14 2006, 15:07:26 UTC

It should, I have it taped up to it's neighbouring toe now.

Ow.

"hurt a bit".. and it was broken?? you must have a pretty high pain threshold..

Then again, I've never actually ever broken any bones in my life. I consider myself extremely lucky...

squid_pants September 14 2006, 15:47:23 UTC

Well, it's not a clean break, it just cracked part way through. Also, when it was done I was already in an adrenaline and endorphine kinda place. Besides, broken toes don't hurt that much unless irritated.
But yeah, absurd pain thresh hold and tolerence.

I've never had any major breaks, but I broke a few ribs when I was a young punk rocker slamdancing. I have one rib that curves in sharply at one point now from back then. I once got to say "Don't worry, that rib always breaks."
Ahhhh, was I ever so young?

whoah.. you're hardcore man.. 8/ :)

I feel lucky to be all in one piece. I have had an operation on my foot in which they had to cut the tendon (long story) and reattach it.. aside from that I had cosmetic surgery on my ears when I was young.

aside from that, & the various piercings, I remain whole, no breaks... some other fabulous injuries tho...

Hardcore? Bah, I prefer to be called "bugfuck insane".
