it was a hot summer tuesday, but the cool breeze was blowing through the window. i awake to an artifically created noise of birds chirping, which can only be attributed to my phone alarm.

still in bed, i do my morning stretch (that one you do when you wake up that just feels great, like... "ahhhhhhhh")

of course, i realize i cannot linger in this state forever, so, following habbit, i twist from horizontal into a vertical sitting position. I yawn, and do one more stretch, as to make sure i can spend the most time on my bed as possible.

then it came time for me to get up... i put my feet on the floor and...

POW! this shooting pain goes up my left toe. i thought it was a cramp, so i proceeded to simply ignore the pain... for about 2 weeks.

then, one fateful afternoon, i had stepped out of the shower, and decided i needed to clip my nails, because they were getting too long.

i finish my hands and right foot, then move onto the second to the right toe on my left foot (obviously, i had just finished with the big toe), when i see this.... bulging.. swollen.. deformed.. hideous mass that i assumed to be my toe.

gathering all of the sense in my head that i could, i said with a mighty roar:

"HOLY CRAP!"

to which my father gave an immediate response, jumping to my side, alarmed, he took a look at the mass formerly known as "toe" and said to me, in an ever so calming fashion:

"oh, looks like you broke your toe"

i reply "WHAT?!?!"

he counters, "yep."

it came as a bit of a shock to me... for i had no recollection of ever smashing, hitting, smacking, or even stubbing it. i simply woke up with it. and there it was.

pondering for what seemed to be an endless moment staring at my toe, my dad then, with a delayed precognitic response, said to me:

"nothing you can really do about them, even if i take you to a doctor, they won't do much."




and there you have it folks... i woke up one day, with a broken freaking toe

i still don't know how i broke it.... grrr

Lmao, probably sleep-toprocking and you nailed it because you wern't wearing shoes.
Lesson of the thread: toprock in your shoes.

Word... I broke my ankle once and... I walked on it until it turned purple.... and then I told my mom she slapped me and said why didnt you tell me...

Moral: Dont Break Your Ankle

Damn dude that's unlucky. All good though? How long until you can pop properly again?

Peace

[RingerINC]

Obviously you were kicking too much ass in your sleep...

[dancing_pidgeon]

Maybe its not broken. Don't rule out ingrown toe-nails.

LOL Crowd_pleaser is a golden member of bboy.org. I remember his avatar thread.

I read it the first time and didn't really laugh. But I read it again, and saw the absence of the word "my" in the phrase formerly known as toe.

Yes yes..Maybe you kick in your sleep? and hit something? but then again you would have woken from the pain...But sometimes I make up and my arm hurts like hell cuz I sleep on it...maybe you sleeped and put your toe in a bad postion and eventually hurting it?...Dont know not a doctor xD

[dancing_pidgeon]

Maybe he slept on his toe....

One time my little toe on my right foot was hurting pretty bad. I wear socks most of the time so I decided to take them off for once and let my feet get some air. That's when I noticed the inside of my sock was lined with a reddish-brown claylike substance. I looked at my toe and it was covered in black crust. My toenail was pretty much gone. I washed it and wiped it with alcohol and witch hazel many times before proceeding to forget about it completely. I just checked it for the first time in like a week and there's still a little black residue. It looks like a double edged toenail that connects to the skin in the middle. Pretty nasty.
