One of the worst things that can happen to you when you're old is to get a hurt on your foot. Last night it was stuffy in the apartment so I went to the spare bedroom which is in the back where there is no street noise and I went to open the window a crack. Unfortunately I was barefoot having left my slippers by my chair and I stubbed my pinkie toe against the radiator. Who would think that a little toe could cause such hurt. Almost immediately the toe has turned black and is throbbing with pain. I can't even get a good look at it to see what the trouble is--it's too far away from my head. I can't bend over to look at it or lift even my foot up to the sink to meet my foot halfway. Sylvie says I should put a soak on it or an ice-pack. She's probably right. Meanwhile I limp.
