OUCH

Today I helped in the yard, I trimmed and watered and cleaned. I cleaned the back yard and moved a few items. DUMB MOVE.
I HAD two tables to use on Saturday. (two table and 42 people). You notice the HAD is caps? I moved umbrellas, and had the guys move the iron base and umbrella to the patio.
I decided to move the extra table to the patio from teh pool area. I carefully took the glass top off, ( I had done it several times). I moved the table base. All went well, I pulled or scooted the table top to the patio. I carefully eased it onto the base and all was well. I then moved the umbrella base in place and picked up the huge umbrella to place in the hole.
That is the mistake, I was handling it OK when suddenly it tipped to the side. I tried to correct the tip and the umbrella began tipping more, and put pressure on the table.
CRACK!!!! and then millions of little cracking sounds I heard. The table was safety glass, it broke into millions of tiny pieces.
SAFETY ?? Right. Something hit my second toe. Right next to the big toe.
I take anti-platelets, and I bled for a while. I walked in puddles of blood. I am sure it was less than it looked like because I was also in the water.
It hurt pretty bad for a cut. Usually I can take a lot of pain. After all this was a little cut.
I then took the hose and used high pressure to wash out the cut. I wanted to make sure no glass was in my toe. It hurt but it seemed to be fine as far as glass being in it. However it had a big bump on it immediately.
AS the day wore on it hurt more and more. I banded it as it began bleeding again, and noticed it hurt even to touch the toe.
Now I believe it is broken. It sure looks broken, it is red and ugly and has that bump on it.
Not a good time to deal with a broken toe.
Hurts like HECK!!!
I had to drive in to pick up David and I was so tired. I complained about everything. I finally said, "When I get home I am taking a tranquilizer I feel stressed."
His response was "Please hurry up."
I was complaining about not being able to decide about Saturday and tables and shade. I complained about my foot, I complained about the traffic. This is not like me. I was just tired. After working all morning in the yard and ruining a table that was desperately needed. That table is now sitting in a garbage can on the patio. I complained about the indecision I am in when I am wiped out.
So I took a tranquilizer and by the end of dinner I was drooping in my chair. Literally melting into the seat. I guess I needed to relax. I then went to the pool with the kids and hit my toe on the bottom of the pool. I almost said a bad word but caught myself. Cant do that. LOL
So that is my day, now I am wiped out and I think I will go to bed.
Good night all.
Love you so much and thanks to all who read my blog.

To make matters worse, tonight as we were in the kitchen, G, (8 ) turned as I turned, he stepped on my toe and I stepped on his, We both began jumping and yelling. I was in pain, he finally began giggling. I had no giggle in me. Sheri came to see if I was OK, which I was but I did not want him to feel bad. He looked at my foot and the cut reopening, he felt bad, but a big hug and we were OK.
So treatment, Sher suggested I tape two toes together. I am so giddy from exhaustion, as I sat down in the bedroom to tape them, I asked, "Do I tape it to the one next to it?"
David stopped. He grinned and said, "NO tape it to the one on the other foot."
We both laughed at my innocent question, What I meant to say was, "Which toe next to it, do I use, the big toe or the smaller toe next to it?"
OK David finally had an opportunity to go tell Sheri I could not walk now since I taped it to the other foot. Ha Ha.
