To follow up on the incident from yesterday, here are toe photos:
No flash… (what it really looks like)
Flash… (my pale skin somehow never allows you to see my bruising in a flash photo)
I am aware that my feet are not beautiful, hence my dislike of feet. It’s because I wore shoes too small for me when I was younger, made the last two toes on each foot curl in. Nobody else in my family has toes like mine. And yet, somehow my boyfriend who loves feet still loves me. I must be fucking awesome in some other way. Go figure.
Holy shit woman. That soap dish really was out to get you!
Ouch… I think that definitely requires medical attention of some sort. At least a checkup.
As for the foot as a whole- I’m no expert on feet (in fact, they’re pretty much the least interesting part of the body to me), but it looks fine to me.
Dang! I think you should apply tequila. Gravity will do it’s trick- trickle tequila in the mouth, and it will work it’s way down to the toe.
When I read the story yesterday, I understood that the soap had hit you on the toe. When I saw the picture I thought: “How big was that soap?!”
I’m applying the “Andria Method” to all my issues now. If it’s a headache I’ll just stand on my head.
Note: Except for the bruised toe part, that foot looks fine.
OUCH! Did you ice it? Poor toe.
I once had a huge glass beer mug fall out of the freezer onto my baby toe and DUDE.
I hope your wittle toe feels better soon!
This little piggy went between anvil and hammer…
Britt, I don’t need to exaggerate my life, it already exaggerates itself for me. (Who almost breaks their toe with their soap dish? Me.)
Creature, I got one over the phone from Dawg. :smiles:
Andria, I’m sure my toe will get tequila this weekend. (WHEEEEEE!)
Mikey, it’s just boyish, and in case anyone was wondering I’m not a boy. I just wish I didn’t have my dad’s feet. I’d love to have pretty girl feet. Maybe a pedicure would do something for this…
Ms. Sugar if you’re nasty, I did not. I considered doing that! And then I forgot the ice pack. Cuz… ya know… it’s all goin’ on upstairs in the head! (har.) And, OW TO THE BEER MUG! Ouchhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Pat, :laughs: Why must you make me LOL???
I think you should definitely get yourself a pedicure if you think it will make you feel better about your feet. There’s really nothing wrong with them, and you have good size nails for polish.
I have a friend whose pinky toenail is practically non-existant (it’s like a sliver) so, when I would give her a pedicure, she’d just want me to plop a drop of polish on the end of it anyway so it didn’t look look like she forgot about it.
There are much MUCH uglier feet out there in the world. You have nothing to worry about. (And you can trust me on this because I’m brutally honest and have seen my share.)
you’re boyfriend loves you despite the feets because you are the amazing and wonderous poppy.
Go forth and drink and don’t drop anything on your foot.
Poppe,
i know how that hurts…I put my LeCruset cookware on top of my fridge and freezer …opened the door and it fell on my last 2 toes and top of my foot… hurt like a MF..
mom insisted I go to dr… 275 x-rays later + 125 dr visit told me to put ice on it.. which I had been doing, was afraid I’d broken bones in my foot, so I guess(??) it was worth it…
be prepared to lose toenails..I did
We must be psychically linked or something…my MIL stepped on my toe. It’s not bruised-looking, but it hurt for a while.
Btw, I think your feet are cute.
TICKLE TIME!!!!!!!!!
One of my favorite pleasures (and I don’t take enough time to indulge) is a foot bath. You can buy one for about $30-$40 retail. It’s a little tub that you fill with warm water and powdered soap. You plug it in and it heats up and massages your feet. It’s a nice activity with a glass of wine.
