Wow, I am the Queen of the Freakish Accidents.
I was fixing breakfast this morning when I knocked a box of toothpicks and a bottle of diet Coke off the counter. I managed to embed a toothpick about one inch into my toe in between the toenail and the cuticle.
I drove myself to the hospital, where I found that apparently numbing my toe would hurt worse than just yanking it out, so they just yanked it out. I have to admit to screaming and crying like a 3 year old. As I'm writhing on the hospital bed in pain, the doctor's all cheerfully like "Now we can start pain management." I then got a tetanus shot and prescriptions for antibiotics and Vicodan.
It has been a real Lemony Snicket kind of month....
