It appears I've broken my foot. I just got back from the hospital and have it all wrapped up. I have to go later this week to a specialist to determine precisely what they deal is. Right now, it's just so swollen that it's hard to tell exactly what the deal is.

So how did I injure it? Football or some other sport? Nope.  Working on the house? Nope. 

I broke my foot hitting a balloon. My 4 year old son and I were hitting a little white balloon we had in the house attempting to see how high we could make it go towards the ceiling (we have a 20+ foot ceiling in the living room).  I jumped higher and higher so that I could hit the balloon to make it go higher and higher.  I jumped and jumped until I finally came down onto the television and fell badly.

After the initial pain came the realiziation -- I'm going to have to explain to people that I broke my foot playing with a balloon. An ordinary little balloon.

So for you kids out there, remember, balloons are dangerous. They should only be played with by trained professionals.
