Do injured portions of a person's body have increased gravitational pull? I had foot surgery on New Year's Eve. The surgeon scraped the bone spurs out of the first joint of my big toe on the left foot. Today was the first day I could shower. I was reaching for the shampoo and barely touched the shower gel. My eyes were closed when I felt a searing pain in the surgical site. Yep, the shower gel fell from the shelf and landed directly on the surgical site. Prior to the surgery, any time I dropped something from the reloading bench it hit the area of the bone spur on my foot. I was wearing that big open toed boot they give you to walk around in on my foot last night while loading the dishwasher, as I pushed the lower drawer into the dishwasher, a wheel shot off the drawer and struck the big toe sticking out of the boot. What's up with that?
