      footnote a steel plate was dropped on this foot prior to rolling the ankle in an unrelated incident that broke the 5th metatarsal in Chapter 7

        It’s not uncommon to wind up with a fracture like that from ankle sprain while running so the added flavor got a chuckle out of me. Something about the forefoot being planted while the hindfoot inverts alongside with the added force of landing kinda makes the 5th metatarsal wrap around the 4th and it’s not bendy enough
