Last week, it was raining! I did what any city girl would
do: Wear her Hunters and Hop on the Subway!
It was the morning. It was a sardine packed train. A large
man packed himself in beside me and the T took off. He didn’t have his balance
and ended up slamming down on my foot. He apologized and felt awful. My foot
was throbbing but I figured I’d just walk it off. I got to work and upon
removing my Hunters, I see on the top, a big gash across the one that was
holding my boo boo foot! How the heck are they rain boots with a huge gash in
them! I mean really!? I started to boil. In fact, I was too mad to even type. I
had to cool down.
After removing the gashed Hunter, I inspected my foot. It
wasn’t swollen so I figured it was nothing.
I went on with my day in my 4 inch stilettos while trying desperately
not to look like I was limping. I reeled in my walking and iced when I could.
After a week, I was still feeling pain and still trying not to look like I was
limping in my stilettos (I wore flats when I could!)
I went to the Doctor’s office yesterday. The Doctor
inspected my foot and grew very concerned. She then sent me to the emergency
room down the street for X-Rays because it was either a fracture or a bruised
bone.
My results came in. It thankfully was not a fracture.
However, it’s severely bruised. She instructed me that I can no longer tough it
out in stilettos and have to wear sneakers at work. This is horrifying! A bruise
AND sneakers! I also have to ice it when I can and pop extra strength Tylenol like
it is candy.
So, thanks Buddy! I know it wasn’t intentional but you SUCK!
Not only did you give me a boo boo foot. You ruined my Hunters. Talk about add
insult to injury! Lesson learned: Don’t invest money into commuter shoes!
