It depends on the object you dropped on your feet! As for myself, I dropped a 5kg weight plate on my feet in the gym on monday while assisting in the gym... I know my foot are ugly! It's not very obvious, but that's swelling and discolouration in my right feet... Still walking... No fracture... Just swelling... And that feeling of stupidity lingers within me... =xOn dropping the plate on my feet, I went through the Kubler Ross model, otherwise known as the grief cycle...
Denial - 'I didn't drop a weight on me feet, did I?' The first stage, where individual deny that the incident happened.
Anger - 'Why me? Why my feet?' The second stage, where individual recognizes that denial can't be continued, but gets angry at the incident.
Bargaining - 'Please please please! I still wanna walk later!' The third stage, in which individual hopes for the best!
Depression - 'Oh fuck... It's swelling... Damn... Damn... Damn...' General sadness, as individual comes to understand the extend of the incident.
Acceptance - 'Oh well... Just need to ice it tonight!' Where individual accepts that what happened, happened. And try to make the best of it!
Well, all I wanna say is, there's a reason why one MUST wear covered shoes in the gym... I was wearing mine, can't imagine what it would be like without proper footwear...
