    this is a picture i took in the emergency room with my cell phone..

    status.. a shattered toe with 5 stiches..  oh and iv antibiotics.. which resulted in 2 more limbs hurting.. the guy missed the first time and left me with a 3 inch bruise.. so he moved to my hand on the other arm ... and left a bruise there also..

    here i am with my foot up..

    DSC00012.JPG

    these were taken a few days afterwards .. its very painful..

    4 of the stiches go across under the toenail and the other stich is on the side of my toe..

    the toe next to it has skin scraped off and is bruised.
