Welcome to the Melugin Monkey blog! This is my first time ever blogging and I thought I better start. If my sister and neice can do it---so can I! :) I don't have alot of time to write on here, but maybe I can make it a habit every couple of days.

I had an interesting weekend. Saturday was beautiful and a nice 68 degrees. I transplanted some trees, started digging out the grass to make a patio for the pool, etc. It was about 10pm and I was heading for bed. Well....I stubbed my toe---on the CARPET. All I can say is that it hurt--alot! I fell onto the bed. I looked down in the dark and thought I saw blood. I grabbed the first piece of clothing I found and wrapped it around my big toe. Made it to the bathroom as I yelled for someone to bring me some ice. I looked----lots of blood. My nail was bleeding profusely. I was going to lose it. It still hurt alot. I could not touch it at all. Wrapped it up and went to bed. I woke up Sunday with blood on my brand new sheets---everywhere. My nail was still bleeding--all night. Could not move my toe. Went to the Urgent care center and yes it was a nice fracture. I thought maybe they would take the nail off, but she didn't. Today is day 3 and it is still oozing. Since it's an opening from the nail bed into my fractured toe, I'm on antibiotics also.
What makes me really mad is that now I can't finish my yardwork, or paint inside the house, or anything that requires alot of standing!!!
