oowww fuck ow, I broke my big toe

Fucking oak beam fell on my big toe this afternoon. I left it a bit, went all purple and like a sausage. X-ray confirmed the worse - fracture of one of the bones.

This shit isn't fair cos I can only walk on my heel and I've a ton of shit to do. The wife last year ruptured her achilles tendon last year completely and still walked on it for 2 days before getting it dealt with.

Either the wife is 10 times more pain resistant than me or a broken toe >> ruptured achilles tendon.

Input required, cos shit this hurts and I want to play the sympathy vote at home, but she's having none of it. Thankfully the kids are a lot more sympathetic.

Now before anyone suggests I should have been nicer to my wife when she did her ankle in, I'd like to say I did everything for 4 months straight when she ruptured her tendon....AND during that time, I had a fractured rib, which to this day is in my book the most painful thing on this planet, bnut that's beside the point. I want to know who now is going to build the staircase I was doing now my toe is out of action.... Reciprocal activity is not equal.

Somehow, I don't think GFY is the crowd to turn for for sympathy! Just give me some though, cos this shit hurts like a mofo.
