It hurts.
I was putting a core battery in the core bin at work using one of those grabber clamp things, and the battery slipped out right onto my left big toe. It was an Interstate 24F for this wondering. The battery was all covered in dust, acid, and grease. It had been in a forklift apparently. The customer was, well, to call him a jerk would be an understatement. He was really snarky and mad at me that as a Ford dealer we don't have listings for what batteries will fit in a random forklift.
Anyway, it happened around 9AM, and didn't really hurt all that much. I hobbled around the rest of the day making a point to not look at it. When I got home from work I iced it and then it started to hurt. So I went to the ER around 9PM and they took x-rays. I "chipped" the bone and they did the hole in my nail thing to relieve pressure which felt amazing. I got a das boot, crutches, and a note that I didn't have to come into work today. That being said I am typing this at work, because if I didn't come in, parts would not have been open and therefore service would not have been open. I have the paperwork to our HR guy who freaked out that I was walking and that I didn't go to an "approved" place to have it looked at. I made the command decision that a the hospital I was born in was probably more qualified than an urgent care. They kept trying to give me a prescription for Vicoden or Oxy, but I wasn't interested, Excedrin and Aleve have been working for me.
