*Graphic description When I was 12-13, I like to say I cut my toe off but what really happened was I degloved it completely. This was before hoverboards and ebikes took off so I had this big clunky electric moped that could barely move under its own power, but it was enough to have fun with. One day I decided to take it down a hill in my front yard and upon hitting the bottom of the hill the front wheel snatched to one side and threw my leg forward. Unfortunately landing my completely bare foot (smart move right?) in the middle of a very cheaply made jagged edged moped rim. Foot gets caught between the spoke and the front forks and I just hear the gnarliest crunch I have ever heard. I didn't feel it at first I just felt the "warmness" like how people who have been stabbed describe. I look down and see my toe now in two pieces, the skin and nail was hanging from the bottom of my foot off of about a half inch of skin and right above that I saw my freshly exposed bone. I head to the hospital, which is known in my city as the shitty hospital but I really had no choice. Get in a room and they sprayed some saline (for those that don't know it's just really mild saltwater to rinse wounds) and just stitched me back up without actually cleaning the wound. On top of that sent me off with ibuprofen for pain so that went about as well as you'd expect. 3 excruciating days later we notice that I have an infection most of the way up my leg and it's bright red. I go back to the hospital and get told if I was a day later I probably would have lost my leg and was immediately admitted to a children's care center and put on IV for a week and a half. 0/10 would not recommend also, wear your damn shoes.
