Blood. Shock. That sort of thing. Plus it sounded like a pun, so I guess I was trying to lighten my own mood. Squished would probably be a better word than crushed and definitely better than broke.
It was bandaged too tightly against her other toes, and when she removed the bandage, we saw it had just... popped? I've never seen anything like it, so I can't pick the most accurate word. The only thing I can compare it to is when you're a kid, and you tie a string around a finger, and the finger gets redder and redder. Except instead of necrosis, it pops like a water balloon.
Yeah. It would be a very big ouch if she could feel her feet. |
