ouch!

I managed to break one of my toes tonight. It's the toe associated with the metatarsal I snapped 5 years ago. As much as this hurts and puts a crimp in driving, it ain't nuthin' like an injury requiring surgery to wire a bone back together. Cause that was pain.

Yikes. I am a wimp and have never broken anything. Sprains, yes. Do you have to wear a brace or something.

It isn't a complex break, thankfully, so I just wait for it to heal and wear ugly shoes. It's a nuisance because I was supposed to go grocery shopping and drive to the family gathering tomorrow.

Would it be weird to indicate that I'm hugging (gingerly) your toe? ;)

5 years ago was v, v bad. Nice baseline to compare. This? This is flyspeck of annoyance compared to that. Happy T-day to you. :)

Get well wishes

No toes hugs, as while I haven't ever broken bones, I know full well the "Concerned doctor bends wrist ~ 'Does that hurt'? Helena takes a swing at doctor type" type pain, and I don't wish that on anyone!

:) but I'll send foot healing vibes your way :)

Re: Get well wishes

Thanks. :) I shouldn't post in the flush of the first hours' pain because I wasn't clear enough. The toe is the one associated with a part of my foot that was injured very, very badly a while back. The surgery I had damaged the nerve bundle in the area so probably muted a bit of the pain. I certainly wouldn't choose to do this but the pain is manageable and absolutely nothing like it could have been. And hey - I'm well practiced at hopping around on the other foot!

Of course, I'm not going out shopping today because the thought of being in jostling crowds with a broken toe makes me whimper. I'm still a wimp.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to put your foot up, relax, and read copious amounts of boysmut.

(Yeah, yeah, I'm working on it.)

You're writing boysmut for me? *blinks*

Oh, my toe! It's agony! I'm dying over here! Maybe they'll have to cut it off! Oh! Ow! Damn! It's unbearable! If only I had some quality boysmut to make me feel better! Maybe then I would die from the gangrene that I just know is setting in even as I type!
