TOE DOC

I couldn't resist passing this funny "Ammon-ism" along. Yesterday while we were waiting for Stake Conference to begin, a man that works at Ammon's school in the Physically Challenged Unit, stopped by to say hello to Ammon. He noticed that Ammon had a dressing on his left big toe and no shoes on either foot. He asked what happened. Ammon said it was a smashed toe and had a pressure sore. About two years ago Ammon got the tip of his big toe smashed in a slight accident. He didn't cry because he doesn't have much feeling in his feet. We have been trying and trying to get the sore better because the skin broke down and he got a big scab on the end of the toe and underneath the toenail. It has been a mess and recently took a turn for the worse. Jim finally decided to take Ammon to Jim's podiatrist to have him work with it. We are now working with this doctor to see if we can get this thing healed. I explained to the man speaking to Ammon what happened and that he was now seeing a podiatrist. Ammon looked up and said, "Oh, I thought he was a toe-oligist!" And then he broke out laughing. He then said, "Oh, I crack myself up!" He didn't even think about it -- it just popped out. We all had a great laugh over that one.
