I Hurt Myself Making Cookies

Stunt Big Toe from Stunt Man

Seems difficult to do but I did. I warmed by spilling one cookie-dough round into the oven and few more on the floor.

Then . . .

I tripped on the part of the broiler that was sticking out by a little. But my left big toe managed to catch it. I fell/flew forward, twisted in mid-air and broke my fall with my left knee. Final damage: headache, twisted neck, twisted back, twisted left ankle, and throbbing left, big toe, and hurt left knee. I thought briefly that my big toe was broken, but it’s better now. Oh and I managed to pull the broiler drawer all the way open with my big toe.

You may say that baking is not a full-contact sport, but I respectfully disagree.
