Default Lawn mower 1. my big toe 0. warning pics inside.

so last Thursday i was mowing the ditch with a little push mower. i was pushing the mower down into the ditch( a little wet) when my feet slipped out from under me and my left foot slid under the back of the mower.
It shaved the top of my toe down, literally, to the bone, and broke the bone.
doc said there was nothing to do for it but let it heal. He gave me some pain pills and some crutches. i have to check in next Friday with a plastic surgeon, because if it’s not healing properly I'll have to get a skin graft.
They said once it heals I won’t have any problems with it other than it will gnarly as hell. So that’s good
So be sure to wear your steel toes next time your mowing a ditch.
