if your ski boots were too tight, or if you were wearing ribbed socks, you may have restricted circulation to your feet and may have suffered frostbite
with downhill ski boots, you want to have them just tight enough to restrict foot motion, but not tight enough to cut off circulation, it’s important to wear smooth socks, not ribbed, with ribbed socks, the ribs press into your lower leg and reduce circulation, increasing the chance of frostbite, either go with smooth ski socks, or just go barefoot, most ski boots are well insulated enough to allow bare feet in them
Bells Palsy is a frightening condition in that one just wakes up one morning to a face that is half paralyzed. It can strike anyone at any time and both the cause and cure are unknown although it usually goes away by itself in a few months.
Upside down Bells Palsy is even less well understood. The virus or whatever else that causes it can’t tell up from down and goes straight for the toes. Thousands of people are believed to be afflicted with this version but it is impossible to know because most people wear shoes and rarely demonstrate dexterity with their feet to make the condition noticeable.
I am fairly certain that you have early onset rabies. The cause of course would be a rabid snow leopard bite to your lower leg. I doubt you noticed yourself getting bitten by a snow leopard. Nobody does because they are really fast (and crazy when they are rabid).
Wow. Now that you mention it, there DID seem to be a bit of fur in my bindings…
For anyone who’s toes have never been totally numb for a week - it feels really, really weird. I was trying to put nail polish on this am and kept painting all over my toes 'cus I couldn’t feel it shmoo over. (I had taken the polish off for the Drs. exam…)
I’m not sure that Voltaire counts as large or vicious. He’s sort of small and fluffy, actually. But he has attitude - perhaps that counts for something?
You were skiing after all, it’s clearly a Snowsnake bite
Snowsnakes commonly sun themselves on the edges of trails, and are very common in mogul fields, but they can be found anywhere on the mountain, they are also highly agressive and bite without warning or provocation
due to their pure white (snow white) coloration and their habit of lying perfectly still when threatened, they blend in perfectly with their snowy environment, they are also the fastest striking snakes in the world, most skiers envenomated by a Snowsnake don’t even realize it until the Snowsnake’s slow-working venom has had time to flow through their system…
This isn’t strictly true. Bell’s Palsy is caused by trauma to the 7th cranial nerve. Many things can cause that trauma, and most of them are identifiable. Some of the most common causes of it are listed here.
As for the OP, I’m going to guess it’s a very slow acting invisibility spell.
I had that for a couple weeks after a marathon cooking/baking weekend – I’d been on my feet all day for 3 days. It went away after a while; my doctor friend said it was most likely just pinched nerves.
Either that, or you’re being eaten by a boa constrictor, and he’s only up to your toes. You probably don’t like it one bit.
