Disaster after disaster

I'm finally convinced the year 2008 is definitely not my year.

I had a canned drink dropped on my foot on Sunday night, and it landed smack on my 2nd toe, causing the toe nail to come off. I didn't realise the extent of damage I'd done until I looked down and saw my bloody toe. Terrified by the sight of so much blood, I limped at top speed to the kitchen to get my bandage.

As I was bandaging my toe, the blood kept flowing from the wound, making me bandage even tighter to stop the flow. I almost used up the whole bandage and was left with a big fat bandaged toe. Unfortunately, it was not the end.

As the night wore on, my foot got more and more painful. I went to bed and after tossing about for 2 hours, finally got up, took my pillow and limped all the way to the living room to watch tv hoping I'll fall asleep. However, the pain was so unbearable and there was no way I could fall asleep. I finally decided to wake Ken up after an hour to ask him to give me some painkillers. I felt so bad waking him up but I was almost going berserk from the pain. Anyway, the painkillers didn't help one bit. I managed to catch about an hour of sleep before my alarm rang to prepare breakfast for Van.

When I saw doc in the morning, he said that the injury was rather serious and I was still bleeding from the wound. He pulled out the damaged toenail, stitch up the wound and bandaged it up. I was pain-free for about an hour after that due to the anesthetic jab doc gave me. After the medication wore off, I was back to limping and groaning.

Last night was the worst night of my life (other than the time I had my first labour pain 9 years ago). The pain from my foot felt like I had my toe cut open from a very sharp knife. It was so tormenting until I could take it no more, I broke down and cried. I think I woke Ken with my cries and he hugged me and comforted me.

After tossing about for several hours, I finally found a position that enabled the pain in my foot to subside and I was able to catch a couple of hours' sleep.

I pray to God my toe will heal soon.. As you can recall from the beginning of my post I mentioned 2008 is not my year, I'll update my blog soon for more of my misadventures. God bless..
