Ouch!
Yesterday morning I got up, showered, walked back into the bedroom and slammed the little toe on my right foot into some very solid wood. I instantly knew that this was not the ordinary toe stub agony.
This was a new level of pain.
I collapsed onto the bed screaming like a newborn. And then the swelling started.
A quick trip to the doctor and an X-ray revealed that I had indeed broken my little toe. Of course, doctor’s orders are that I put my feet up for the next three weeks… Well, she actually said to keep the foot elevated, ice it, and buddy tape it.
This morning the whole area of the foot is going black and blue. Oh joy. At the moment I can’t get a sock on the foot, so driving is going to be interesting…

Ow. No fun. I did that last year leaping over a baby gate on day 1 of a 9 day ski trip. Went all black and blue the same way.
Luckily, ski boots are like a cast that you remove in the evening before consuming plenty of alcohol (medicinal purposes, of course), so it worked out ok.
Best of luck on the recovery!
And remember - you are allowed painkillers...
Plenty of ice, and keep it raised above the level of your hip, and the swelling should soon go down.
Thanks all. Swelling is going down now, but man is the bruising ugly. Kinda freaky seeing the pooled blood turning the areas around the toe colourful...
Well....you could apply some Leeches for the brusing.
If that dosen't appeal to you you can always fall
back on the medicinal alky suggestion.
Sounds as if you wacked it good and proper..thats
what you get for not working seven days a week.
Get well soon
Denny
Following Tom's advice, I took the painkillers and feel much better. Steve's foot looks much better too.
