My wittle toe!

I think I broke my toe!!!! I slipped coming out of the shower and jammed my toe into the little wooden step that the kids use to reach the sink. Oh my Lordy - does anything on earth hurt worse than stubbing your little toes?????? Within five minutes it was swollen and already bruising. I don't bruise easily so that was a very big deal for me. I took some Tylenol and sucked it up because that's what Moms do and there was laundry and cleaning to be done. I hobbled around all day keeping the weight off, kept hoping that eventually the pain would subside and I would be OK. However when I woke up this morning I saw the bruise has now traveled down onto the top of my foot. This is NOT a good sign, right? And it still really hurts - a LOT!!!!! I almost cried driving my stick shift to work!!!! Because of course it's my left foot that is used to shift gears! I had to adjust my foot way up so that I was pressing with the ball of my foot instead of my toes. And even then I was so very happy when I hit the highway so that I could leave it in fifth gear.

I debated going to the doctor, but since they don't really do anything for broken toes I figured why waste a co-pay on an office visit? So maybe I will stop and get some medical tape at CVS and tape it up a little and pop more Ibprofen when I am off doing Christmas shopping this afternoon! I talked to my Mom and she felt so bad for my pitiful tirade that she is going to stop at Hillards Candy today and get me some yummy chocolate! It probably won't make my toe feel better but it's definitely worth a try!
