I'm bootlegging sympathy

I call it...my "sympathy boot". It makes things look a lot worse than they actually are, and it does wonders at evoking sympathy.

I've already had to explain what has happened to my foot roughly 57 times. And it's only been 24 hours.

And my left foot is getting a lot of experience in areas it has previously not had to deal with, such as: pressing the pedal on the piano; driving a car; dancing by itself; and constantly walking on tip-toe when I'm not wearing shoes with a considerable heel. Remind me again why I'm wearing this boot...?
