I thought my days of toe woe were over. But apparently they have only just begun. My toe was aching this morning when I was only walking to the subway. This should have been my first clue that my toe was far from recovery mode. Anyway, most of the way up and down the mountain my toe nearly killed me. I haven’t felt so helpless! Finally I broke down and admitted that I must see a doctor but after dinner.
Andrea and I ate Sha bu Sha bu. Look at these noodles! After eating we trekked around looking for a clinic. Luckily a kind pharmacist gave us directions to a 24-hour clinic. So the bottom line is my baby toe is broken! I have to wear a green colored cast for one month and use a crutch. This means no hiking, no walking and worse of all, no taekwondo. Ask me if I am happy right now. It is going to be such a long month with no exercise. I am going to turn into a whale. Maybe Oprah can help me. Somebody help me! What am I going to do? This is probably the time to finish reading all those books that have been collecting dust on my shelves.
Hi, Crystal-
Oh wow! I am so sorry that your toe is indeed broken, and that TKD and your invigorating hikes are on hold.
However… Thanks for posting the pics of your injured – but sexy – foot, bare and encased in the cast.
You know… I wish I was your boy friend. I'd definitely take care of you — all of you, not just your toe. You seem like a really cool and compassionate person.
Again, I totally appreciate the pics. And please share more.
