Thanks for the reply. What has been your experiences with people breaking it below the nail? Is that something that happens often or is it just one of those things that could happen if I decide to take another fall from the side of a mountain? I'm an active person and have never had a history of broken bones or stress fractures. The mental aspect of this has been an unexpected consequence, too. I thought I was invincible and that nothing could break me. So much for thinking
