Last week I broke my toe/(piece of my) foot. I am a weekly toe-stubber, and I've broken a toe before. I was walking very quickly and decided to do a 180. I turned into my chest that has clawed feet that stick out. I knew immediately I had broken it. I got sick and went to the doctor the next day. I know that nothing can be done for a broken toe but tape. However, it looked funny. Yep, have to have surgery. It was a spiral break that sent the bone down and out. Apparently I'll have trouble wearing shoes the rest of my life if they don't put a pin in it to straighten it out. I've been wearing a shoe to help me walk. I was favoring that side and the orthopedic surgeon said I'd collapse my arch and develop tendinitis in my ankle. So this shoe puts all the pressure on my heel, which is really starting to hurt. My surgery is Tues., and the first day of school is Monday. I'm so upset about that! They said once or twice people have come to surgery completely healed, so I'm hoping that'll be me. =)
Excuse my "pedicure" and fat little toes. Usually that pinkie toe lays flat like the rest of them and is not quite
that big.. This is before all the bruising spread across my foot.
Getting around was
really difficult the first several days. My mom went grocery shopping with me and couldn't stop laughing at me in the old-person zoomer.

Surgery on the first day of school. I can't imagine:(
I hopes it works out for the best.
Oh, Kim! I am so sorry. Your poor foot. I hate that you have to have surgery and that it falls at the start of school.
If it makes you feel better, I got a HUGE laugh at the picture of you on the motorized cart. LOVE IT!
I'm glad that you're still able to enjoy yourself. You look good on the zoomer!
I'm sending you happy thoughts.
Love that new set of wheels your sporting in the grocery store! :) Of course this would happen right when school is starting! Hope you're back on your feet (literally) again really soon!

Oh Kim I'm so sorry! But yeah this grocery picture is laugh out loud funny. Hope your back up to yourself again soon.
I'm so sorry about your toe! And it sucks to have to have surgery so close to the beginning of school. I'm sure your kids will love the story. You look hilarious on the "old person zoomer." I've always wanted to ride one of those things. :)
