hairline fracture in right foot
About a week ago I dropped my iPhone and it landed on my foot right where the big toe meets the foot. The edge of the corner of the phone is what hit. It hurt a little, but not too bad. Then on day 2 I could barely walk. There was no swelling and no bruising. I didn't think too much of it. On day 4 the pretty shades of purple, yellow and green arrived.
I got an xray from my PT and he says he sees a hairline fracture and recommended an MRI. I am not really interested in spending a couple hundred out of pocket for a doc visit, MRI and follow up, just so he can tell me there is nothing I can do except stay off it. As a small business owner, I cannot afford to stay off it.
I did try and take a leisurely ride, but the area specific pressure was brutal on the foot.
On the bright side I got to spend a week cleaning, waxing and lubricating my bikes.

That sucks!
However, dropping your phone on your foot is not very manly. Even if it happened, I would suggest re-telling the story with something bad ass happening to your foot... but don't get carried away.
