Would you like to hear about my interesting day? You would? Thanks.
I spent a few hours at the doctor’s office today after hitting my little toe on the hearth of our fireplace while walking through the house the morning.
The verdict: Yep. Fractured and dislocated.
Fortunately, the doctor said that it will still be okay for me to make the trip to Macedonia next week.
I’ve been trying to come up with the most “manly” version of my story possible. After all, stubbing my toe on the hearth doesn’t really invoke images of Rambo, does it? Well, the best I can come up with is that my injury is “the result of a high velocity collision with a sheet of limestone.” It’s true, and it sounds a little better than “this little piggy hit the fireplace.”
The doctor I saw today was excellent. He is a Christian, and he prayed for me before we left, and even prayed over our trip to Macedonia.
At any rate, here is a picture of the x-ray. You can see the fracture running diagonally from left to right down the length of the bone.
Please keep me in your prayers for the next few days as I recover.

Hey, that’s better than breaking your tail bone, and they don’t make a cast for that!
