Snap, crackle, pop

Have you ever broken a bone?

Of my own? Several, mostly in my feet. Usually toes. Or at least I notice them most because they turn a different shade of purple than when they’re just cold.

Also, my ankle, sort of? When I was 10 or 11, I had surgery to staple my ankle bones together so they would fuse. Then 2 years ago I rolled my ankle really badly and it popped and now moves in ways it previously had not. But my doctor looked at it (literally, ONLY looked at it, refused to touch it or order any kind of imaging) and said because I could still walk on it (because I have no feeling in that foot) he didn’t think it was worth bothering about. 2 years later and it still buckles if I don’t center my weight over it properly, so that’s fun…

Of someone else’s? Yes. I will provide no further explanation.

Not my foot, but the thing they did to my foot.
