Today, I fell over on the bus. X-Rays revealed not only that I have been growing extra bones in my foot, but that when I fell, I crushed all of them. Doctors don't know how to fix bones that aren't supposed to be there, so they're just going to cut them out. Two days before Christmas. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that I not only dislocated two bones in my foot, but also fractured one of those two bones and snapped the other. How did this happen? I tripped over a single stair walking from the bar to the beer garden. I didn't even get to drink anything. FML
Today, years after I stepped on a nail and had the wound stitched, I got an X-ray. I've had serious trouble walking, and it turns out I had 2.5 inches of nail living in the sole of my foot, stabbing up into my ankle joint. I now need major surgery. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs, breaking my foot and tendons. It was the first time I had ever broken anything, and the doctor said that it's the most complicated break he'd ever seen. It's too complicated to operate. Now I'm stuck in a wheelchair for god knows how long. FML
Today, I went to see the doctor for my daughter and myself. I fell two weeks ago, I thought I'd sprained my ankle but apparently I broke my leg instead. I’ve been limping around for two weeks. My daughter was sick, which is the only reason I got X-rayed. It may need screws. FML
Today, I broke my fifth bone in three years. While I'd like say that they've all been scary, athletic injuries, most have been from attempting to do things as mundane as walking. FML
Today, I was in a car accident, two days before Christmas. I'm now laying at home, not able to walk. My whole family thinks that I'm joking. A car drove over my foot, I'm not joking. FML
Today, the day after saying that I'd never broken a bone, I snapped my fibula in half. FML
Today, my first day of going to the gym, some gym bro dropped his weights, which you’re not supposed to do, right on the top of my foot. I have complex crush fractures in most of my foot bones, I’m going to need surgeries, probably metal pins, and I can’t put weight on it for months. FML
Today, I kicked my coffee table while barefoot, got an X-ray, and I’d cracked the bone. Got home, kicked the exact same table with the exact same toe, got another X-ray, the crack is now a full-on break. What a day. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs and landed heavily on my foot. Because I wasn't crying, my mom refused to take me to the hospital. It took me an hour of agony to convince her. It turned out to be broken in three different places. FML

what if Thats just the next step in evolution and the doctors just cuts it off because they don't know?

clearly you don't understand how evolution is supposed to work. Evolution, supposedly, makes a species more suitable to survival. Having random extra bones does not make a species more adaptable or suitable for survival. In fact, it's random mutations like this that often get used as evidence for why the theory of evolution isn't such a water-tight idea.

Correct me if I'm wrong...but from everything I have learned about the theory of evolution it's that evolution is basically a bunch of random mutations. Sooo...yeaa.

Ya, evolution is random mutations that benefit an individuals fitness and therefore may go to fixation in a species. Saying that, not all mutations are evolution at work....evolution is the entire process, not just the mutation.

How did you manage to fall so you break every bone in your foot? Well, you get some time off of work or school or whatever. Broken feet are usually only painful the first day or so. Take care that they don't scar or you'll endure a lifetime of questioning whenever getting a pedicure or wearing open shoes.

Definitely a real genetic disorder. I've heard of it and looked it up for biology once.... Anyway, FYL OP.
