I'm Hurt

Ok, so I woke up last night with a pretty severe pain in my big toe (I've been waking up with a lot of pain lately). I'm not going to lie, I'm befuddled as to why my toe hurts so bad. Have you gotten hurt and have no idea how it happened? If you're like me, you start to come up with some pretty bizarre ideas on how it may have happened.

As I laid in bed wondering why my toe hurt, I tried to replay the day and recall if I fell or kicked something. Quickly moving past that I had no earthy idea how I got injured, I started to wonder if I got mysteriously bit by a spider or some insect during the night. Too tired to turn on the light, I decided to wait until morning if that were the case. Morning arrived and I discovered the pain did not seem to be from a deadly insect or spider...at least there seems to be no visible signs of a bit mark. Then my mind started to play tricks on you. I went from a spider bite to...I ate a Burger King whopper before bed. Maybe the whopper did something funky to my toe. This was the first time I've had a whopper in years...a coincidence that my left big toe is throbbing? I'm not quite sure.

Finally, I came to terms that my toe pangs are mostly likely not from a whopper and I started to wonder if I had cancer of the foot. Could I be dying and this is merely the early signs of my disease? I suppose this is a possibility (although not very probable....at least I hope not). Jen said it could be arthritis. I refuse to believe I am old enough to suffer from arthritis. I'll go with the whopper before arthritis! My new diagnosis is sleep walking. Although I know of no instances of this occuring in my past (in other words I don't have any stories from Jen or from friends and family), maybe I got up during the night and kicked something. Who knows? It's a mystery.
