Our newest adventure

Another title might be: the most expensive Sprite ever! Mom, Carl, and I went to the free children's movie at Mall of Georgia with my sister, Victoria, her two daughters, and friends. Afterwards, Mom, Carl, and I went to the gas station to fill my sister's van with gas. The QT station had fountain drinks for $.49. I took Carl in and we got drinks for the three of us. As I was walking out with Carl and two drinks in my hand, I was paying more attention to the people and vehicles as it was very busy. I kicked the sign at the door way (to advertise food inside). I was wearing "Crocs" as well, and a hook in the sign hooked in one of the holes of my shoe. I did not realize this, I just knew my foot was stuck. When I yanked it to free it, my left foot came down hard again the cement. My foot really hurt, but I was able to drive home. I put ice on my big toe. When Brian came home, he decided it was broken and we needed to go to the doctor. Brian took me to the local First Care and they took X-rays. Sure enough, I fractured my left big toe. So, after two doctor's visits, Brian declared the Sprite costing $300.49.
I am now back in my "boot" for at least three weeks while my fracture heals. I broke the exact same bone in the same toe three years ago on my younger sister's leg while playing on the beach. That time I wound up having surgery to remove a bit that broke off and did not heal back.
This time around, everything should heal just fine!

Sheesh, you and your poor feet can't catch a break can they? Sorry to hear it.
