4. I simply crashed the foot into something: door, chair, wall.

In fact, I don't always pay attention to what I'm doing or where I'm walking.

Again, it's a trivial break, and I can figure out it's broken because one, it hurts; and two, it's turning blue. I was thinking just yesterday that I was about due for another broken toe. I did have a minor break of some bone in my left shoulder back in January, and I did have that one xrayed, but didn't need a brace or cast or anything.
