Hey

Yesterday I and Ed were playing on our skateboards trying to flip them over the wheelbarrow. I had just flipped it over the wheelbarrow and was off the skateboard then Ed shoved the skateboard at me and I lifted my right foot to stop it but I didn’t lift it far enough and the skateboard rammed my BIG toe. I started dancing a jig right then and there. ( it was probably the best jig I’ve ever danced. Course when I broke my leg I’m sure I could have done a better jig ) At first Ed thought I was joking ( cause we had rammed and stumpt our toes a lot and acted like it hurt when it didn’t ) then Ed saw my toe he got serious . I went hopping inside I didn’t have a particular destination in mind. Then Mom saw it and took one look at it and started to call Madalyn my sister who is a EMT and is training to be a paramedic then Mom called the minor emergency room. Then Madalyn got her oxygen from her medic bag and stuck that crazy mask on my mouth. ( I thought it was over kill and didn’t like the smell.) I got all sorts of exclamations from the girls. Mom finally got a emergency center she told the girls ( T.G.J and K.L.J) to get her purse and cellphone while she got ready. After I had gotten in the car I saw my hat on top of the roof I asked Ed if he’d get it down. So he ran and got a bamboo poll and knocked it down then he ran and tossed it into my lap. ( it was a old beaver skin hat. I’ll show you some pics ) So we (that is me and Mom) started down the road and it was the longest trip into town I have ever had. Finally we got to the hospital. We sat around and waited and then they numbed my foot. They stuck some stuff in three places on my toe. It stopped hurting after that and they pulled it out.

Now it doesn’t hurt too much. Except that Edward stepped on it today.

Now for the pictures. The white pad the wood is on is 4 inches by 4 inches.

Splinter on the toe after it was pulled out. The splinter was all the way under the toenail.
