Dh broke a toe (second one) the night before he left for his new job. Which entails climbing a two story ladder plus climbing up that much higher to grease gears and walking a mile or three down the rails.

He was not too happy.

He's pretty tough, even so, that hurt - so he says - for a good week. I can imagine those steel toed boots did not feel any too comfy. And you know guys.... it's not like he'd ice it or take an advil just because that's what you're supposed to do.
