(not my foot)
My New Years Resolution is to try not to break any bones this year and get these 3 screws out of my leg from the last break!

Man I bet that Hurts!
So Thursday nite I got a lovely surprise. I was taking off my socks to get in the shower, and I was greeted by a lovely Black and Purple Big Toe. Somehow that day I had managed to break my big toe. I did notice that my foot/toe was kinda hurting that day but I figured it was just nerve pains. Most all of you are aware of my accident 10 yrs ago. Well it's really hard to explain what it "feels like to be paralyzed". The closest thing I can describe it as is when you have put your hand or arm totally to sleep and that tingling sensation that is almost painful when it is getting it's feeling back. That is how my feet have felt 24/7/365 for the last 10 yrs. That being said.... what a blessing it is to break a toe and hardly feel it at all. I have broken about 3-4 toes since my accident. This time and one other are the only times I wasn't aware I had probably broken it. I remember tripping and jamming my foot into a door facing... I assume that is when I did it. My neurological osteoporosis doesn't help the situation, but we are working on that.

Very nice... Who knew there would be perks of not having feeling in your feet???
No broken bones! I missed that one when I made my list of resolutions, but I think I'll add it now.
Sorry about the toe, my friend. I was interested to read your description of how it feels to be paralyzed. It's the sort of question I would never ask, but always wonder about.
Sorry about the broken toe, Chris. I think I remember you telling me about doing that before. I pray you keep the resolution for no broken bones in 2007!
