I mentioned that I banged up my foot pretty bad, and that it had turned a nicely spectacular shade of purple. I wasn’t kidding:
Considering that I walked into the boat tie-down at a good pace, I’m probably very lucky that I hit it where I did — I could have broken a toe or two in the process.
Let this be a warning: always watch where you’re walking. And wear shoes.
Well that certainly is TASTY!
But at least be glad it wasn’t near a nail, ingrown and infection are not fun in the short or long term.
That is lovely!
“Ouch!” is all I can say out of empathy.
OMFG SO UNNECESSARY!!!
Ew.
Yeah, yeah, feel better.
Ew.
Oh, wah. It’s not *that* gross.
It’s mostly just skin abrasions and only really hurts when I walk on it. But mostly, I just wanted to show off my spectacular scar because I’m twisted like that
