Broken

Well, fractured might be a better word.

The JRCLS at the law school plays flag football every fall.  Charles has been looking forward this since last year when they lost in the championship game.  Well, their first game was last night.  They played the ROTC here at UNL and apparently the game was pretty rough.  Charles came home with a huge bruise all around his pinky toe and with his toe and ankle swelling up.  We iced it and elevated it and gave him some ibuprofen and sent him to bed.  This morning, he got up and was getting ready for school, when he realized it hurt to put his shoe on.  And it hurt to even walk on with just flip flops on.  So, he contacted his professors and told them that he would miss class and we went up to the Student Health Center.  After some examinations and a few (painful) x-rays, the diagnosis was a fracture in his pinky toe.  He's got an wicked cool bootie thing that he has to wear for at least the next week and maybe up through the next month.  No matter what, he's not allowed to play football next week...wife's orders.

We would LOVE to see the pictures of the "wicked cool bootie thing"! It might add some coolness points to your tally. Bootie pictures=cool, no bootie pictures=lame. :-)

Lots of people want to see my bootie, but I am a very conservative fellow. I wouldn't mind posting a picture of my broken toe though.

Yeah I think we need a picture of the bootie...Maybe the toe too, but that's just because I want to use it in my medical class this week!
