Alright, now I need some orthopedic help!

Maybe THAT will be the first pic you all see? LOL...I need a pedicure first.

LOL! Had to laugh at that!

Thought I'd share my only story related to toe injuries. My BIL was sitting on the sofa one day when he noticed a hot air balloon going by. He flew off the sofa to grab his camera and slammed his foot into his exercise bike. He saw every star in the heavens but was determined to get a few pictures. LOL!

Ouch!!! I broke my little toe when I was very young by dropping a baby table on it. I don't really remember much except that it hurt a lot. My Mom broke her big toe and had to wear a small brace and the toe was taped to it. It was hard for her to walk normally because she kept loosing her balance. This is when we learned that our big toes help us keep our balance.

Since then I've only stubbed my toe very badly a few times and it turned black and blue and swollen. I took some pain meds and it was fine in about a week. I hope that it'll heal quickly and that you'll feel better soon.

Thanks again, everyone. Today the toe really does feel better. It still hurts, but, it is NOT the same pain as yesterday. So, I am guessing I did not break it. I took my brother's dog (I am dog sitting) to the dog park today, since I can't walk him, and even after standing around for 1.5 hours, it seems 'better'. Course, when Jonah decided he needed to make a dive from the playground equipment, I couldn't get there fast enough. Thankfully, my voice box has not sustained any sort of injury, and I yelled so loud the dog panicked, people turned and stared, and Jonah started crying! But, he didn't dive.

I think by Monday I should be A-OK (well, at least back to where I was before the toe injury).

Pam- That is essentially the picture I must have made as I hurt my toe. Maybe I would have felt better if I had gotten a great shot- besides the great shot of pain, that is.

Thanks again!

I'm glad your toe is feeling a bit better today, and that Jonah didn't take that dive!!!

Glad to hear the toe feels better, but - your office didn't have any medical tape? Can you sue?
