Aaaaaaaagggggh! Come on then, everyone own up. Who here wears high heels? They should be banned on a permanent basis! I went out last night for my birthday drinks, and having only been out for a hour or two, some lovely drunken lady decided to clatter into me and stamp on my foot with her high heels. I havent been able to walk since. I spoke to somebody at NHS Direct on the telephone who, when told of the exact details of my injury, advised me to go to the hospital as she said my symptoms sounded like I had broken at least one of my metatarsal bones in my left foot.

I went to the hospital today and had two xrays, and thankfully, theyre not broken, but I've bruised the bone of my third and fifth metatarsals. The pain has eased slightly, but I still cant walk and I've been advised to take it easy for three weeks. So yes, I am fine...but I stand by my decision that the world would be a better place without damn high heels!
