Accident Prone!

Yes it is true. If it is going to happen, it is going to happen to me! Yesterday at work, I was being productive and closing files so I could make more room for storage in my area. Our shelves at work are know to be "slippery" and so I was being careful. I was on my last 2 boxes which were 2 shelves over my head. Box 1 was about 15 pounds and got it down fine. Box 2 seemed to be about 30 pounds. Wasn't worried about the weight, just the shelf. Well, I got the box, but the bottom shelf and top shelf fell simultaniously and I could only hold the box and one shelf. The other wooden shelf fell directly on end on the top of my foot! Holy %^@*(_*#@W#@#! And I knew someone heard the crash and whatever came out of my mouth and moments later in popped one of my co-workers and I was like GRAB THE BOX, I HAVE THE OTHER SHELF. When I looked down I knew it was bad as I saw the blood gushing from my throbbing foot. Then came the tears, not because of the pain, I can deal with the pain. No the tears were from the thought of it being broken and I have so many events coming up! As my attorney rushed me to the ER all I could think was great, all this training and here we go again. My foot was swelling and already turning blue. I finally got back in the ER about 1 1/2 hours after arriving. When the x-ray gals came in to x-ray it, the first thing out of their mouths was WOW, that looks broken. I lost it! They felt so bad, but I then explained that I was a triathlete, and how much of a set back this could potentially be. I just kept praying in my head, please don't be broken, please don't be broken. In came the Dr. about 45 minutes later. She said nope, not broken. WHEW! Was I more that relieved! The first question out of my mouth was when can I start running? She laughed and said give it a few days of ice and rest and it should be good to go. They gave me a tetnous (sp?) shot since I hadn't had one since '92, cleaned my injury and sent me on my way. Resting today...considering trying to swim tonight as I can't stand resting! Been icing all day and feels pretty good, just sore! Here are a few pics...
