[at-l] alrightoe

So, I had me some guests from 'out of town' this weekend. This was very 
nice except that they were relentless in their ridicule of me for the 
clutter in which I live...and, the state of disrepair I leave my 
property in. So, after their departure I decided to organize a bit. It 
was an organization borne of spite.  Or, was it spite-born?  Anyway...as 
I was organizing my clutter I found a need to move a bag of potting 
soil. So, I pick up this bag of potting soil. I was standing without 
moving my feet much. I reached to the right and lifted the bag and then 
leaned to my left to sit the bag on a pallet. My feet were pretty much 
stationary...with roses. Anyway...as I leaned to my left I heard a pop 
from my right foot. And, I felt a pop in my right foot. Initially, I 
thought my right big toe was broken...as if it had exploded. It 
hurt...BAD! So, I stumbled into the house, cussing all the way. I took 
my sock and shoe off (not in that order) and looked at my foot. From the 
base of my big toe over to the second toe, then about 1/3 of the way 
across the top of my foot, was swollen and black/blue/purple/red. I 
could move my toe...but, it hurt to do so. So, yesterday I sorta took it 
easy and only worked about 4 hours and only did light stuff. Today, 
however, I was involved in loading the gear for a rock-n-roll 
show...which required some heavy lifting. About the third road case I 
had to lift, I felt the same pop in the same spot...maybe not quite as 
intense.  So...my question to you is this:  Does anybody have any idea 
what the hell is going on??  Both times this has happened, my foot was 
flat on the ground (more or less). So, it's not like I twisted it or 
turned it funnily or some such.  Thoughts? 

(Yes, I'm 46 years old)
