Two Big Toes*

I stubbed my big toe on a piece of metal protruding from the bottom on the door
coming in from the garage to the house.
It hurt like heck. Bled some.
Busy getting breakfast, I didn’t clean it up.
Just hoped I didn’t get blood on the floor.
I was afraid I would lose the toenail but I didn’t dare look.
Finally DeRay said I should at least pour hydrogen peroxide on it.
I did more than that
I covered it with Neosporin and a Band Aid
so I wouldn’t snag it and pull the nail off.
Next day, it still hurt.
Getting serious, I soaked it in soda, Epsom salts,
and lavender essential oils.
Cures everything.
Feeling brave, I trimmed the nail and again covered the toe with
Neosporin and a Band Aid.
As I bounced into bed, the jagged toe nail caught on the covers –
Oh no!
I trimmed the toe nail and put the Band Aid on the WRONG BIG TOE!
How crazy do you have to be for that to happen?

True story.
