Foot injury

Post by smgreen20 »

While building my new box, I was cleaning up for the night and I had a sheet of 49"x97" MDF laying on the tailgate of my truck and the other end was on a horse stand.

I had a second sheet, about 60% left, on top of that that I was cutting and as I went to pick up the sheet I moved it to the edge to get my fingers under it and as I tilted it, it slipped. Dropped about 40" straight onto my right foot.

Behold my pain.

Makes walking a bitch. We went to WalMart to get out groceries, that's why I had to clean up, and I used one of their "old woman" motorized carts. I felt like an ass.

At most it's fractured, but I think it's just swollen. Hurts like hell.

Ouch. We had an early snow storm one year just before Thanksgiving. I was going on a long trip, so I decide to swap the snow tires in the snow just before we left. While carrying a tire, I slipped and almost fell but in the process I slammed my foot in to the jack. Trying to catch my balance. My foot was sore for 4 months. In the summer, I had a flare up where I could barely walk, this happen a few times that summer. The doctor said I must have done cartlidge damage and I was breaking down the scare tissue. I haven't had any problem since that summer, but it sure took a long time to heal.

I hope it doesn't take 4 months. That'd suck.

Makes me think, a friend of mine was carrying his sub box w/3 JL 12w6 (gen 1's) IN the box, he slipped about 6 step from the bottom of his basement and positioned himself to "save" the subs/box. He landed on his elbow and was swollen for about 2 weeks.

He was complete pain when he hit, but as many of us are, he stood up w/the look of pain and asks "Are my subs OK?" I've been there.

I think the worst I ever did to my foot was when I was re-plumbing the house. I dropped a 2 foot long piece of old 4" cast iron drain pipe on my toe. I know it was broke, but I limped around on it for about a month before it finally started feeling better.

So yeah, I feel your pain bro. :doh:

this will take time. I stubbed my little toe a couple of months back: took four weeks before I could walk on it properly again :(

my foot story....

pressure washing the deck with sandals on (yeah...this can't go good)

the hose gets caught in between the boards on the deck

i pull the "gun" to free the hose, which comes loose suddenly and my momentum carried the nozzle around past my foot.

i blew a 1 inch wide, 1 inch deep hole in the top of my foot.

i just stood their in shock for a second...then noticed the blood rising out of the wound....then i snapped out of and wrapped it and had my mom take me to the hospital.

only 8 stitches though!

Dude 1 inch deep Brian? Do you have Hobbit feet or something? Seriously 1" would basically be a hole clear through my foot.
