POST 354.

I hurt my toe(s) for the second time today.

I still remember my first painful experience of having a heavy object, fall onto my toes from a dining table. Somewhere in Shanghai, year 2009. The laptop battery, from one of the ancient laptops I used to own - IBM Thinkpad, if i'm not wrong. That battery from fell the dining table and landed, right on my pinky toe. Instantly, I was screaming and cursing at the battery while holding onto my pinky toe. Painful, painful, painful. The worse thing was, the pain remained there for a few days. I couldn't touch my toe, I couldn't move it. It was hell. 

Back to 3 May 2010. Well, guess what.

I experienced, the same thing again today, only it's five times as painful because, a heavy object fell on all five of my toes on my right foot. Right now, my toes are in the state where I can't touch them, I can't move them because they hurt like a bitch. I can tell they're bruised and, in fact, the pain is that unpleasant I can't really even feel my toes at this point.

So anyway, a flashback to this afternoon at school. I had just finished lunch and I was retrieving my P.E kit from my locker (about a metre off the ground) for P.E class. Taryn was right beside my locker, doing her ghetto impersonation while I was taking my things out. Then, I stopped. Started talking and we were so into the conversation I forgot about my locker. See, the problem is, I have a bad habit of stacking my books one on top of another in my locker (along with my laptop), resulting in an uneven stack of books all piled up. And today, I suppose, I experienced the consequences of doing so. As I was saying, we were talking and suddenly, my laptop slipped out of my locker, landed right on my five toes (on the bones itself mind you) and then on the ground.

Juniors walked by and went, "ooooohhhh" while I just stared at my laptop and the floor, in shock. Taryn did the same, stared at the floor and there was silence. 5 seconds later, I picked up my laptop and panicked. I checked for any cracks, scratches and opened it to check if it was fine. Thank, god it was. I placed it back into my locker. (Pretty stupid when I just placed it back where it just dropped out from.) By then, 20 seconds had passed. Only then did I feel the piercing pain in my toes.

"OOOOOOWWWWWCCCHHHH".

I felt like collapsing on the floor and not moving at that point. My toes, just got squashed, by a freaking a 5.2 pounds (GOOGLED) macbook. As if the first experience with the laptop battery wasn't enough, I had to go through the pain again for the second time, this time, with a much heavier object and on five freaking toes. And coincidentally, both times, the object slipped and landed on my feet. Then I was stupid and decided to kind of "touch" (definition: PRESS) the bone on my big toe. Holy shit, I am not joking, I felt a piercing jab which lasted for a few minutes. 

Too bad the damage wasn't severe enough to have my feet placed in some cast or something because then, I would've been able to skip the upcoming (dreaded) swimming classes. Then I guess I would appreciate the pain.

So, looks like I'm going to have some trouble navigating round the insanely packed stairways at school. Seriously, anyway that steps on my right toes are going to die. And I mean it. Or maybe I should wear shoes tomorrow instead of flats...
