quietannthanks everyone for sympathies WRT my broken toe. It feels a lot better today, and I should say that it's a really tiny break, at the very end of the toe. Had the dish fallen half an inch further back on my foot, things would have been MUCH worse.
BTW the formal name for the drill-and-blood-draining is "trepination." The drilling part didn't hurt at all; the draining part was quite painful. Toes have a LOT of blood.
You know, no one breaks a toe in a "usual" or "normal" way. THere is always a story. Both my parents broke toes by bumping into door jambs in the middle of the night. My dad's wife broke her toe on the bottom of a swimming pool.
And then there is my brother, the Super Athlete. He surfs, skis (downhill, cross-country, and telemark), runs, cycles long distances, takes 2-3 week backpacking trips, has hiked the Pacific Coast Trail, rock climbs, etc. But he did not break his toe doing anything exciting like that. He broke his toe by tripping over a curb on his way into a 7-11 to buy beer...
