Title: OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: mfd1027 on March 11, 2011, 08:09:56 PM
Had a little setback Th.   We went to Naples to visit with some relatives from NH and as I was setting up the trailer  I opened the compartment that holds the 2 ft. section of RR tie I use for the tongue jack and looked away just as I opened it.   Next thing I know it smashes my toe's.   Yeeoooowwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :help: I couldn't talk for 20 min.  Anyways,  I'm limping around.   We're going hunting Sunday so I hope I can get my huntin' boots on.   Gonna be tough to run n gun for a few days!!

Man, that looks like that hurts. May have to ride the bike around instead of walking, may be a little easier I don't know. Hope it gets better soon. Good Luck this weekend, keep us posted.

You may want to check on some steel toe shoes if that happens on a regular basis.  :icon_thumright:

Yeah Rick.  My big toe and second toe are purple.    I called my doc buddy in Atl. and he told me to leave it alone for now.   It didn't bleed when I first did it and I thought I was going to have to tap it with the ol hot needle but then suddenly last night it let go and started bleeding like hell from under the nail with a few bubbles coming out with the blood.    I can't tell you how much that helped.    I tried on  my hunting boots a while ago and as long as I don't roll up on my toe's I can walk ok.    :happy0064:    I'll be gimping around Sunday but at least I can wear my boots.     :icon_thumright:

Dustin.   The Danner's are great boots.   I just get a little nervous not wearing my snake boots this time of year.   I'd be looking at my feet the whole time I was hunting if I didn't have em on.   I haven't seen a single snake "yet" this yr.   Last year I saw 3 big diamondback's in the span of 2 days out there.   I've probably just jinxed myself.
