At work today, I opened a big heavy duty steel door with a larger than normal gap from its bottom to the floor, big enough to slide over the top of a small foot. I know this about the gap because I opened it right onto my foot. Even though I was wearing closed toe, leather shoes, the door managed to bend the toenail on my left big toe so much that it bled like a son of a gun. It hurt all day long, and is still a little swollen. The door edge cut into my shoe a bit as well. I'm pretty sure my toe is not broken, but *dang* it hurt. It was bad enough that I had to file an accident report.
In other less cringeworthy news, the ants in my yard and under my patio, the ones trying to invade my house!: their time is short. A pest control company will be coming by tomorrow to start getting rid of them. The stuff they are using is supposed to be both pet and daycare safe.

Ouch! My toe is hurting now! That is horrible. I hope you feel better soon. Does it hurt to wear a shoe? Maybe you can get away with wearing flip flops to work!
Did you put any medicine on your toe, I swear good old mercurichrome, geez not sure how you spell it, but you know that icky red stuff that dabs on . Anyway that stuff is great for nail injuries, cause if you get an infection under there it can be a bugger to clear up.
Hope it feels better soon.

so i just looked up mercurichrome to see how it is spelled , well the good news is i spelled it correctly. The bad news is its been banned since the late 1990 cause it has mercury in it. Damn. I love this stuff and I am keeping mine.
So I guess try tincture of iodine, think that is pretty good too.
