First phalanges non-displaced fracture of the third digit. Other wise known as a broken toe. As with the last broken bone I acquired, there isn't much to be done with a broken toe, except to add a little wobble to your walk.
At this point you have to be asking your self how in the world does somebody break a toe? What progression of failures must occur for a toe to be broken?
1. Not wearing the proper protective gear.
2. Lack of situational awareness.
(Not a complete list, just the highlights)
In-fact when my right 3rd digit slammed into the corner of the stair case, I was neither wearing the proper protective gear nor situationally aware of my surroundings. I believe I was wearing a pair of socks and my skives. I was also attempting to walk and talk at he same time, and everybody know that in it's self is a most dangerous activity that should be avoided at all cost.
Since that fateful moment one week ago I have vowed to fully embrace ATGATT. My family on the other hand think I might be going off the deep end. Eating, sleeping or just lounging around the house it's ATGATT!
See you on the road.

Gordon - I like that... you can't go wrong with ATGATT! Nice photos superimposed over the x-ray. Sorry about the toe fracture. Hope it mends soon.
Mike,
Yes I believe that ATGATT will dramatically reduce my house hold injury's. I shall take it a bit easy for a while, no marathons or soccer games for the time being. Who knows I might even take up those activity's when the toe is healed. The ATGATT photos were take after a short ride, so the Toe won't slow me down to much.
The photo at the bottom was done using the collage function of picasa, a program I find most useful.
Sorry to hear about the toe, but you turned it into a really funny post. Hope it heals soon. LOL
I wonder what ATTGAT in the john would look like. Sorry for the toe, but it made it into a hilarious post. Thank you for the smiles.
I didn't take into consideration the john until I after instituting ATGATT at home. I have since seen the error of my policy .
Thanks to all for checking out my toes. GAW
I tried the same thing. Ended up scaring the new grandson. Take a look at the last photo of this post.
