Nothing too gory, I got away with a broken 5th toe, a dislocated 1st toe, some painful bruises and a nice, deep stab wound under my foot. Happened on November 3rd while going to work. A girl in a smart car didn't stop at a "stop" sign and I ripped the car's front bumper with my foot.

The first two are from day one, 2-3 hours after the accident. The doctors took some x-rays, checked me for internal bleeding, wrapped my 4th and 5th toes together and sent me home. I could use some stitches, but they didn't even bother.

3rd and 4th pics are from day 2, after a lot of treatment with ice packs to avoid swelling.

I went back to the hospital on day 3 and I got a nice brace to hold my foot still and help reduce movement and swelling. They prescribed anti-clot injections which made the stab wound bleed again and sent me home.

The rest of the pics are from day 5, most of the swelling is gone and most of the bruises have turned yellow. My whole foot is numb, I can only feel 3 of my toes and part of my heel.

I'll update as soon as there's some change in color or size, or if it clots and needs surgery.

(I know my second toe looks funny, I fractured it some years ago and I refused medical help.)

One asshole in a "smart car"
Your poor foot

Smart car driven by a dumb driver. Glad you weren't hurt worse though.

Good news... you didn't get hit by a "Smart Garbage Truck".
I'm just playing.. Hope it heals up fast for you.
