So yesterday I hurt my toe really badly, just stepping over the baby gate we have in the kitchen doorway. We do this frequently, but yesterday it hurt SO bad and didn't stophurting. My one toe is now all purple.

Then this afternoon I take Zoe out to pee and go to check the mail. Our mailbox is at the end of the driveway, I walk out there every day with Zoe. Well today as I get there a big UPS truck starts pulling out of the driveway across the street. Zoe hangs way back, which is good, I tell her it's okay and reach for the mail... and right THEN she decides to bolt for the house. She didn't make it anywhere as I was holding the leash, but she pulled me right into the mailbox. Now my arm and back of my hand is scraped and banged up and bleeding. I had to have a shower right after that too - trying to wash my hair with one hand isn't easy!! (I didn't want to get soap on it... it would really sting.) That was my "DUH" moment - I knew she's nervous I should have waited til the truck went by, but she was standing there okay... just BAD TIMING.... agghh.
Should I be afraid to leave the house? Scratch that... so far I've hurt myself IN the house... help, get me out!!
