I have broken both toes. Now, I hate to rain on your parade but once you have broken your toe it will be very easy to break again. My toes re bread at least once a year. But hey, you might have an excuse to have another day off in the future.

I am a major klutz. I've taken many nasty falls and have had 3 concussions. One time I'd fallen at work, smashing my face into a concrete floor. With my bloodied nose, my boss drove me to the ER. They x-rayed my head and I heard the doctor out in the hall say "Great bones!" because I had no fractures.

Interesting thing. The young doctor spoke to me candidly and asked if someone had beaten me.

I said "I smashed my face into a concrete floor. Do you have women coming in looking like this?"

He said "All the time".

It is amazing that I had not broken anything before that as a kid because I was extremely active and fell off of my horse many times doing stupid things ( like jumping a fence bareback...how stupid can one get? ) I was far from klutz but stupidity was the rule instead. I claim my ADHD as an excuse.
