Snow and Toe
Wednesday, December 25, 2013 at 4:11PM 
We are having a snowstorm enough to cover the ice and give the dogs traction and boy are they excited. They can move those bodies of theirs again. We still have extras due to the hydro issue some are dealing with.
Okay, how did I break the toe, rip the nail out of the toe completely and slice the next toe? I wish I could say it was the ice storm but no it was something idiotic. I was in the grooming room in a bin to get some toys the pups have not seen. I was looking at the toys in my hands thinking about how excited they would be to see these and I literally walked into the gate. I fell bruising my whole right forearm. It's a beautiful purple. I guess my toes separated and I have no clue how the nail came out but it was that which sliced the next toe. Kat barked at me. I was on the ground crying. Nathan went - Kat stop barking from the other room not coming to check - never knowing what he was barking about. I guess he was thinking it was due to the heat. If the toe is not taped to the next one it literally hangs down. Sleeping and dogs and Nathan bumping my feet is my biggest issue. Good news. I am still sick with this flu but I can breathe. That is progress. Still grooming, playing, feeding, laundry and even cooking. If it wasn't for Tylenol 3s I think I would be crying. But we have heat so I need to stop griping.
Rocky and Magic depart tonight. We will miss them. Magic's home now has hydro - yooo hoo! That's it... more tomorrow.

Oh Darlah, I am so sorry about your toes. I have broken two toes (not at the same time) and I know how painful it is. Please take care.
Darlah, so sorry to hear about your toes. This sort of injury can be very painful.
Tape the toes together and hope for the best is really the only solution.
I hope they are nit too sore.
Is your head cold easing ? Perhaps your balance was off due to head congestion.
Kathy: I think I am a klutz and its not my usual but wow insult to injury. Pain pills wear off and the arm that's bruised and the toe hurts. Actually need to get another pain pill as the toe is throbbing. Ty, Moseby and Murphy come tomorrow. I got to suck it up and ignore it.
Oh Darlah, hope you feel better soon. Take care.
