It looks like my toe has stopped bleeding. It had been bleeding on and off since an unfortunate encounter with a sandbag about two weeks ago. While it seems the nail isn't going to fall of anytime soon, it appears to have proven true that you don't appreciate the things you have until you lose them. Or lose the use of them. (Although apparently, the appendix might be the exception to the rule.)
If you have your toes in such a state, you'll find yourself changing your gait so other parts of your foot bears more pressure. And within days, or even hours, those parts of your foot will begin to hurt too. Then, you'll also put more pressure on your other foot (i.e. limping) and the ankle on that foot will begin to complain as well, particularly when you go jogging.
I'm looking forward to that nail coming off. Maybe I should frame it, since people have been suggesting that I should keep it as a souvenir. I'd prefer to think of it as a battle scar I can hang on the wall.
