i broke my toe

[warrior queen]

and it fucking hurts!
dislocated, and cracked in 3 places.
i'm all bandaged up, splinted (yep, mini-splints for toes.... whodathunk?), and popping anti-inflammatories like jellybeans... and the ice stocks are depleting fast.
refused both surgery and cast, as i have two 13 yr olds in the house and school hols start on the weekend (no way can i be off my feet!)
dammit, i need sympathy

 

[Dreamliner]

you have my sympathy....broken toes really hurt.



Now harden up, call yourself an amazon?.....


lol

 

[Not Normal]

bummer! I had a bass dropped on mine last week, but I just blead a lot and it hurt. Not borken though.

Keep it elevated when you can.

 

[Gunner70]

ouch buy some biofreeze- to numb it up for temp relief. Walk on heel. Put weight on other foot. And for fucks sake don't bang the toe again darlin EAT something with those anit-inflams or they will screw up your stomach lining. Poor baby HUG

i have a hard shell, filled with marshmallow.
i'll harden up when the toe is smaller than a frankfurter and stops throbbing.
fuck it - of all the things to happen

i'm keeping my foot up on a chair when i can.... but i'll have to move around soon to cook dinner (the rest of the household can only burn baked beans, and i refuse to eat bad food!)

thank god i have an automatic car! but not being used to using my left foot on the accelerator means i'm catching myself far above the speed limit!

 

[LowMurmur]

OW. Which toe? I cracked my little one once and the doctor just mocked me and handed me a roll of tape.

~sigh~ i know about the eating thing.... but i barely eat at all any more, so remembering to is quite hard.

heh - you would not believe the lengths i've gone to avoiding kicking it again!
i almost wish i had one of those wire muzzle things they use for greyhounds to put over the end of my foot!

2nd one - like the index?
a rock jumped out and attacked me on my walk.
yes, i know - i shouldn't have been barefoot...
but i hate shoes!
now i'm paying for the no-shoe thing and mean-tempered rocks

Vicious little fuckers, rocks. . .

LOL I/we live in the home of broken toes. I've broken toes jumping out of bed with cramps & trying to stretchout the cramp but always seemed to find my toes getting busted. It wasn't just me either BANDIT got attacked be a chair that broke her toe.

Fill a dish with cold water & ice & plonk the foot in, some emu oil rubbed in after dried.

 

[Gunner70]

ummm Some more thoughts. If you have any really big over sized padded socks that you could just ease over your toes to pad them? Drink heavy creamed tea or coffee with a bit of toast or a cookie or two? Try and stay away from carbonated drinks. If you have anything you can use as a cane or walking stick?? Got duct tape and a wire tea strainer to fit over toes???

 

[SweetErika]

Do you have a good orthopedic shoe (hard soled, open toe with extra room at the end so the toes don't come into contact w/ anything)? That shoe and using a crutch saved me when I hurt my big toe joint in November.

Toes take a long time to heal, since you can't stay off them. Mine's still sore on occasion, even though I was religious with R.I.C.E. and exercising it. If there was a greater chance of long-term pain without, I'd take the surgery and cast for sure!

Here's to feeling better and quick healing!

Awww..if i could i'd serenade you to make you feel better. but you might feel worse.

 

[Peregrinator]

I like the way you think. And I feel confident saying that WQ does, too.

 

[softey1]

Sure

*licks your toe to make it better*

lick toe to make it better or is there some other reason we don't know about, can I help ?

 

[FiestyRedHead]

But why did they want to do surgery?
That makes this sound a little more serious.

Don't fuck with your feet.
Let it heal properly.
I did something similar about 8 years ago by thinking I could get by without resting properly, and I'm still suffering from it.

 

[Mythical_]

i have broken my big toe twice and it aches a lot in the damp weather.
sucks

my sympathies

 

[warrior queen]

Ouch. Lets fuck.

ok.
if the offer's still open, that is

they want to pin the toe, which means a cast as well.
i cannot do that - i have two 13 yr old girls about to go on 2 weeks school holidays....
can you imagine the hell if i'm not able to keep up?
