Technology + Sammie

Technology and I have a love/hate relationship. I could not live without it (especially since I am a college student away from home) but living with it is not exactly working in my benefit either.

Whether it is my iPod or my cell phone, everything has its place and its importance to me. There is not a day that I do not use every technological gadget that I own. Everything still continues to give me problems. I have been through five Droid cellphones in the past year because of malfunctions, 5 iPods over the years because of malfunctions, and two laptops. Maybe I should not have thrown all of these away after they broke, because I felt the wrath of all of them last Tuesday.
For some strange reason, my laptop decided to take the plunge off of my desk and onto my right foot. I thought the pain I felt was temporary, but after twenty minutes of being unable to move off of the floor because of pain, I knew something was wrong. Of course, this had to happen 10 minutes after the nurse left. I found that out after using crutches I brought from home to cart myself to her office. I then went to public safety, but that was mainly after I saw my toe was gushing blood.

Since I have a rare nerve condition and any injury can be a disaster, I was able to go via ambulance to the emergency room. My foot was too swollen for the x-rays to get through, but the doctors are convinced my foot was fractured. But of course they called it a contusion, which it is not. Almost a week later and my foot is worse if anything. I am still on crutches, it is still swollen, and now I cannot move it in the slightest.

Lesson for all the Bison out there... beware of laptops.
